Comment (by pdimov):

 The generic overload can't perform overload resolution. If you have

 {{{
 void f( int );
 void f( int, int );
 }}}

 then {{{boost::bind( f, 1 )}}} works and selects the first overload. This
 is not supported by {{{std::bind}}} but existing code that uses
 {{{boost::bind}}} relies on it.
