Comment (by timpie.w@…):

 The fix seems incorrect.

    typedef typename functional::divides<Left, Right>::result_type
 result_type;

 looks incorrect and I think it should be

    typedef typename functional::divides<
         typename functional::plus<Left, Right>::result_type,
         int>::result_type result_type;
