I've made a library called lclfunction which is basically a redone version  
of local_function except for the following important differences:

1. This library allows the function name to be specified at and only at  
the top of the local function
declaration.

2. This library allows local functions to maintain internal state without  
referencing external
variables (via varset).

3. This library allows the use of globally scoped types as macro  
parameters, i.e.,
::std::pair<..., ...>.

4. This library can handle binding array types.

5. IMHO, this library has a cleaner implementation:
   a) The preprocessor translator is partitioned into a front end and back  
end.
   b) A well-defined symbol table bridges the two translation layers.
   c) It has well-defined error-generating mechanism with a separate error  
pass before code
generation.

6. It uses a different syntax.

The main reason I did this redone library is because local_function  
required putting the function's name in the closing macro and that rubbed  
me the wrong way, my view is that it should and can be placed in the  
opening macro.

If there is enough interest from the community I will "Boostify" it.

Thanks,
