Yes.  I used it for the same function as STL does.  

Ie.

STL:
   bind1st(less<int>(),2)

SigC:

   void foo(int);
   Slot0<void> sl=bind(&foo,1);

boost::bind:

   bind(&X::f0,&x)();

bind in the boost sense is using the term bind to mean something
other than arguments.  It is meaning combine an object and method
to a functor.  True the object is a hidden object to a method, but
this still seems odd.
