[Boost-users] String Algo used with std algorithms

Is there any way to use the string algorithm predicates and other facilities 
in conjunction with the standard algorithms (IE. for_each, find_if, etc.)? 
For example I am trying to make the following example work in MSVC8:

typedef std::vector<std::string> Strs;
Strs strs;
strs.push_back("bob");
strs.push_back("lisa");
strs.push_back("eric");

Strs::const_iterator iter = find_if( strs.begin(),
                                                  strs.end(),
                                                  boost::bind( 
&istarts_with, _1, "B", std::locale() ) );
std::cout << "Found: " << std::boolalpha << ( iter == strs.end() ) << 
std::endl;

I would be grateful for any comments or suggestions.

Thanks, Jason
