I am most definitely interested in this. The boost::function library has huge 
amounts of generated code and maintainence on the Perl script that generatess 
it has become a nightmare.

I'm interested about the practical portability of such a library. Does it 
generally work well across compilers? What sort of limitations have you run 
into? Macro expansion depth limitations? Macro length limitations?
