Well I suppose I could add it to functional.hpp, but I'm not sure 
it's worth it.  Does anyone still use functional.hpp?  I tend to 
use bind myself.  And now those who are lucky to use a good compiler 
have got LL.

For the case of std::pair, I think the easiest solution is to use 
select1st and select2nd which are in the experimental version of 
functional that's in the vault.

That version probably needs revisiting (to stop returning by value)
and then updating in CVS.  Jeremy volunteered to update CVS for 
me...  ;-)
