Had some fun playing around with it some more
Note that the feed_function doesnt check the arity ( or number of elements) of
the tuple. However may be this could be useful. Perhaps one could add a range
parameter specifying which range of args in the tuple to use.

IMO Its daft that there are traits for variables and not traits for functions,
which this library addresses. I reckon  that there are many potential uses of
this library, especially in FP style programming.  Perhaps this library will
help to open them up.

FWIW I  change my vote. I vote to accept the library into boost.
