Thanks Freddie,

boost.function does allows me (I dont think) to specify the function when
the template is instantiated (it has to be done programmatically). The
alterantive might, but I am unsure of the syntax and how to use it - could
you add any detail?

At the moment, it seems like a robust option is to use macros, and simply
redefine the function name to whatever I want - quick and simple, but not
very templatey!!
