[boost] [type_traits]Member function traits in function_traits?

It's amazing that function_traits in Boost.type_traits does not support 
member function traits. As I need this feature recently, I wrote a simple 
implementation and discuss it with John Maddock, but he gave me following 
reply:

I'm not sure the meaning of "wider questions". Could anyone tell me what is 
the question and the differences between global function pointers and member 
function pointers, please?
