Hi,

do i miss something? The file in the first link also uses 
std::unary_function as the change was revoked by

https://github.com/boostorg/numeric_conversion/commit/2009f0d4fc49a6db59b950a3140f8d1f58e1a8c6

Of course, this leaves the question why the change was removed. I guess 
it broke pre c++17 code.

Best,
Oswin
