I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  Which piece of boost thread would
need to provide different implementations depending on the macro defined?
I don't think users usually care about which version of result_of is
actually selected -- unless deduction doesn't work, which is the case for
C++11 lambdas currently.  Do you have an example where the user would need
to write their code differently depending on the chosen result_of
implementation?  I can only think of times where a user may wish to
explicitly select one type.

Thanks,
Nate
