Hi!

On comp.lang.c++.moderated I talked to Daniel Krügler about how to
discover argument and result types from C++11 lambdas in a template
context. The thread has the title "How to discover argument and result
types from lambda for constructing  std::function?"

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.lang.c++.moderated/qaMECIUlJp0/discussion

The task is to provide a function template "make_function" that takes
a C++11 lambda expression and returns a boost::function with the
correct signature to call the lambda. This may be extended to accept
any other callable type.

Is there such a thing already in Boost? I'd like to add it. Would it
go to Boost.Function alone? Or would parts fit into TypeTraits? Does
Doug still maintain Boost.Function?
