Depends on what do you mean by "acceptable."

Sure; the problem is that the number of things that fit nicely into
<functional> is unbounded. You have to draw the line somewhere.

Intuitions vary. ;-)

The good thing about using bind is that you only need to learn how to use
bind. Devising a separate function object for every common task means that,
at minimum, you need to remember their names.

bind() can emulate projectNth as well but these are already
well-established.
