Just from skimming the source:

        - References to member pointers don't work (easy to fix)
        - If we're to support some  broken compilers, we'll need a workaround 
when result_of<...>::type returns void (these compilers might not 
support result_of anyway, so it may not matter)
        - reference_wrapper_without_result_type needs a "void operator()() 
const { return get(); }"
        - reference_wrapper_without_result_type needs to have the right 
"result" typedef (not "result_of"; easy fix).

I could have written the fixes for those in less time than it took me 
to write out that list :) I'll try to get the sandbox version fixed, 
documented, and into the Boost trunk in the next few days.
