That the reason why it's not used. BUT I had already that comment 
before and I I think it's valuable to have Boost.Function interface 
for test case creation. I am going to provide anextention to support 
this. It won't be a part of core library. But you will be able to use 
it where Boost.Function and Boost.Bind will work.
