I remember it was discussed before, but I've only managed to find the head  
of the thread: http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg52712.php

If I am not missing something, the conclusion was to ask boost::bind  
developers to adopt scope_guard, since the latter one can share almost all  
the code of the former. And then the thread just died...
