A couple of questions:

1)

It seems to be that this library only applies to function objects.  Is 
this impression correct?  I get this impression from the "getting 
started" and other material and I'm fine with this.  But when I go to 
the reference for is_callable I find:

"The is_callable metafunction checks if the function is callable with 
certain parameters."

which seems to suggest that this meta function would work as expected 
when passed a pointer to a function.  If it's to apply only to function 
objects, I would expect the above to read:

"The is_callable metafunction checks if the function object is callable 
with certain parameters."

2)

I wonder about some names.  In some cases it seems that the library 
provides some C++17 functionality under a different name:

is_callable ?-> std::is_invocable
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/invoke

apply ?-> std::invoke
