 Hi,

 I'd like to write the "Preferred syntax" of a signal while
 including a header for a fixed number of parameters.
 This works for boost::function, but not for boost::signal.
 Surprisingly, it seems that signal1.hpp does only generate
 a signal1 template, in contrast to function1.hpp. :[
 Couldn't that be aligned to boost::function?

 #include <boost/function/function1.hpp>
 typedef boost::function1<void, void> F1; // compiles
 typedef boost::function<void (void)> F2; // compiles

 #include <boost/signals/signal1.hpp>
 typedef boost::signal1<void, void> S1; // compiles
 typedef boost::signal<void (void)> S2; // does not compile
