The library has been updated and the following changes have been made:

Library:
--------

The "dark corner-feature" to grab the template signature of a class template has 
been removed, because it is not worth the trouble it can cause. It should not be 
in the scope of the library, anyway and should be seen as a bug fix.

Documentations:
---------------

The documentation has been updated to reflect the above change of the library.

Several small, in-place fixes have been applied to address some of the 
shortcomings reported by Jody Hagins.

There still is more room for improvement, but the review period is not the best 
time for radical changes, especially because more reviewer's thoughts could be 
helpful for this.

Examples:
---------

An example to demonstrates the customization of callbacks based on a function's 
input signature has been added.

     - interpreter.hpp
     [ http://tinyurl.com/bu5vn ]

     - interpreter_example.cpp
     [ http://tinyurl.com/8ryt3 ]

The Jamfile in the 'example' directory has been updated to only build the two 
example use cases.
The other examples are still built as a part of the test suit.

The other example use case (which is not new) has been renamed from 
closure_function to function_closure:

     - function_closure.hpp
     [ http://tinyurl.com/cd4hm ]

     - function_closure_example.cpp
