The specific problem that got me thinking about this is that I 
couldn't find an easy way to make a predicate compare only 
the ".second" member of a pair, as in a map lookup by value:

    typedef std::map<int,float> map_t;

    // find the map entry whose value is 3.14
    void findpi(const map_t& themap)
    {
        std::find_if(themap.begin(), themap.end(),
                     member_equal(&map_t::value_type::second, 3.14));
    }

<<----------------------------------------------------------------
The LL solution is of course:

        std::find_if(themap.begin(), themap.end(),
                     ( _1->*second == 3.14) );
