Except Boost.Phoenix isn't as expressive as "real" C++, is it?  E.g., 
local variables are somewhat clumsy (opinion) in the current incarnation 
of Boost.Phoenix.

Also, it seems reasonable to implement BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION in terms of 
lambdas if they exist, but perhaps one would want to use local functions 
on non-lambda-enabled compilers.
