Yeah, Proto defines a similar concept. It highlights the need to have
one place where the Boost-wide concepts are defined, and an easy way to
link to them.

Arguably, the proper place for the definition of
PolymorphicFunctionObject is in Boost.Result_of's docs. But if we do
that, we have to accept the fact that when building the pdf doc of, say,
Fusion, the links to the concept will be broken. Kinda sucky.
