Question: does the above work even if my work_crew is still the
vanilla:

    work_crew< int, boost::function<void, int> > vanillaCrew(....);

or would I need

    work_crew< tuples::tuple<int>, boost::function<void, int> > closeToVanillaCrew(....);

- I ask b/c of the 'tuples::apply(...)' portion.
At first glance, it's not clear that

   int i;
   tuples::apply(this->engine_, i)

would not work (b/c i is not a tuple).

I'll look into that later, it'd be exciting.

Hopefully I'll be able to see this in 1_30_0! ;-)
