I'm already depending on mp11, so adding a dependency to more boost
libraries (i have been stuck too long with c++11 and old boost
releases, and completely missed that hof provides is_invocable and
apply) is not an issue.

I would need, however, to provide an unified syntax for declaring
intervals for C++14 and C++17, otherwise a compiler update would break
user code. I think this can be done only by using a macro (which would
be mandatory only for C++14 code, and provided in C++17 for backward
compatibility). Anyhow, I created a github issue to track any progress
on this side.

For those interested, i filled up the feature comparison table (
https://julien-blanc-tgcm.github.io/indexed_array/comparison.html ) and
added some use cases in the readme file.

Best regards,
