Right, what is the return type of the execution of a for_loop? Why "void" so you can't assign the result of a for loop to a lambda variable.

  Makes No sense:  _1 = for_loop(,,,)

BTW: lambda works with boost::function! You can build a lambda statement and store it in a boost:function! Pretty cool eh? You have Doug G. to thank for that.
