I used "binded" because, obviously, I still don't know English :) I
meant for it to be "bound".

I'd use "bound" instead of "bind" because Boost.Parameter uses
"deduced" instead of "deduce" (this might have to do with the keyword
being used in declarative instead of imperative context... I had a
similar discussion about C++0x "requires" but I still don't quite
understand this argument...). However, this keyword could be anything
that makes sense to the group... and given my limited English skills,
I am happy to receive suggestions on what the keyword should be:

1) "bound" (my vote)
2) "bind"
3) Something else... what?

Thanks a lot for pointing this out!
