You've done a great piece of code! I've tried to understand your
articles about the differences between fcpp and boost::lambda/bind/etc.
and these (the differences) are now clear to me (to some degree :-).

OTOH I know, that there is going on serious work to merge boost::lambda
with Phoenix to overcome some well known limitations of both and to
avoid having two similar libraries in boost. Wouldn't it be nice, if
after this merger we'd get _one_ library lambda + phoenix + fcpp? Or
isn't this possible at all?

Just my 2ˆc.
