[boost] Select overload revisited

I was thinking about the overload resolution functions suggested a while 
back by Arturo Cuebas[1] and had no idea why the compiler needs to be 
told the number of parameters in the first place. So I took his code and 
removed the numbers from functions, and it worked (in gcc). I guess that 
it didn't work for him because of his compiler.

Well, it almost worked. Sometimes there is more than the one function 
that fits the template parameters. So I kept the numbered overloads to 
be able to match them.

It might be possible to get these to work without the number of 
parameters by making the compiler prefer overloads for functions with 
less parameters.

I've attached a demo.
