Looks interesting. Just one naive question...

If a overload variable can be set any function, why bother giving it a
signature when declaring it? Why not just:

     overload<> f;
     // or simply
     boost::overload f;

     f.set(&int_sum);     // here automatic signature
     f.set(&float_inc);   // deduction occurs

     f.set(&any_function);
