Badly.  Very badly.  It's probably as simple as boost::function not 
having any specializations for CLI reference types but I'm not going to 
try and figure out how to make them.  I'm actually going to work toward 
weeding out all CLI crap and using C++.  Unfortunately I'm working with 
a COM object that isn't behaving too well apparently and I'm no expert 
with COM.  But that's neither here nor there...there are a few boost 
things that can't handle CLI types, which is not at all surprising. 
boost::function is one of those things, the output is about a mile long 
with a big screw you at the end.
