Hi Daniel,

  I have tested polymorphic_function as a replacement of
boost::function in my multi-signature function extension and it works
nicely on _all_ the tests and examples I tried.

I didn't tested the complete API becasue, as we know, not all
boost::function API is supported, but I have tested  wrapper/dispatch
functionality with normal functions, function objects and even
polymorphic objects and it works flawlessy in all the cases.

Nice work!

Waiting to be able to integrate  wrapper/dispatch polymorphic_function
when API supported is complete.

Thanks
Marco
