[boost] [thread] explicit constructor in thread

any particular reason why the function sig accepted is
  function < void ( void ) >
instead of 
  function < void ( void * ) >

which you might deduce as more complete for at least these four platforms:

thread function signatures ( noted in ACE )

      posix = function< void * ( void * ) >
      win32 = function < DWORD ( void * ) >
      vxworks without pthreads = function < int (...) > // if such a
thing were possible??
      pSoS = function < void (void *) >

any other examples or thoughts ?
