I don't understand this one. 

The arguments are:
    int, 
    char **, 
    options_description,
    int, 
    std::pair<std::string, std::string> (const std::string &)

And the expected argument list is:
    int, 
    char const*[], 
    options_description const&,
    int, 
    function1<std::pair<std::string, std::string>, const std::string &>

And I don't see any reason for the compiler to fail the instantiation. But
probably I'm wrong here (as always when  I disagree with my compiler ;-) Any
hints?
