This is the usual dependency problem with new (hence optional) 
infrastructure. People using TYPEOF would ideally just #include 
<boost/bind.hpp> and have it all work. People _not_ using TYPEOF would 
ideally #include <boost/bind.hpp> and _not_ have it include any other 
headers that are of no interest to them. Unfortunately we can't have it both 
ways. Can we?
