[boost] nullary_function vs. generator

I notice that the SGI STL docs refer to "Generator" as being the function
object concept for a functor without arguments. What is our rationale (if
any) for using boost::nullary_function rather than boost::generator for the
associated base class? Is there a difference between SGI's "Generator" and
boost's "Nullary Function" concepts?

(I did search the archives, and didn't find any consideration of
boost::generator, but that's not to say I didn't miss it.)
