[boost] Are result_of tests correct?

I am a little confused by the result_of tests, which means either I
don't understand the library, or there is a problem as most compilers
are passing!

The basic case:

struct int_result_type { typedef int result_type; };

  BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT
  ((
    is_same< result_of< int_result_type(float) >::type, int >::value
  ));

If I understand correctly, this is asking what is the result_of a
function taking a float and returning an int_result_type.  Intuitively,
and from my reading of the tr1 docs, that should be an int_result_type,
not an int as asserted in the test.

My reading of tr1 says that result_of< int_result_type > should return
an int, but NOT functions that return an int_result_type.  This support
being in there to support unary_function, binary_function, and other
function objects following that protocol.
