That really depends on the underlying types.

I don't read:

bind(&foo, _1) == 2

as "the object which bind returns is equal to 2"; operator== on
lambda-type objects is not an equivalence relation but instead returns
"some result" (that happens to be a proxy for possibly evaluating an
equivalence relation later).
