 boost::bind uses bind<type> in situations where it cannot determine the
 return type. This is useful for situations where you are binding to a
 method with a variable argument list such as printf.

 I'm not so much concerned with the bind<type> construct as I'm unsure how
 to bind to functions such as printf. Is there a syntax for this when
 utilizing Phoenix bind that I have missed?

 Using boost::bind --

   boost::bind<int>( &printf, "%d ", _1 )(42);

 Using phoenix::bind --

   phx::bind( &printf, "%d ", arg1 )(42);

 results in compilation error.
