Well, that's not quite the same: The in_place stuff deals with in-place
construction (hence the name), which is a different pair of shoes.

It's not applicable to the use cases outlined in my previous post, since 
it doesn't (and probably wouldn't make sense to) provide a function 
object interface (since it has to know the memory location where the 
object should be constructed).
