    struct something
    {
        int id() const;
    };

    mtn::vector<something*> some_things;
    mtn::vector<std::string> result(mtn::transformed_seq(
          some_things
        , boost::compose_f_gx(
                std::ptr_fun(mtn::to_string)
              , boost::mem_fn(&something::id)
              )
        ));
