Call traits is a special case. If you know how to use it "just so", 
you can write portable code which works even with broken compilers, 
but is more efficient with less-broken compilers. If functional.hpp 
can be used that way, I'd encourage you to make it possible. 
Otherwise, maybe there's no point.
