Probably not worth the effort, it seems that it would be a lot of work.

And you can still have overloading by doing it like this:

void BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION(const double& num, const bind& sep)
     std::cout << num << std::endl;
BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_NAME(l1)

void BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION(const std::string& num, const bind& sep)
     std::cout << num << std::endl;
BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_NAME(l2)

auto /* or the real type */ l = overload(l1, l2);
