AFAIK, there are no reasons for not supporting this stuff in lambda
bind, except one -- it requires time for implementation.

Some day we'll have both of two worlds -- phoenix 2. It should unite
boost bind, boost lambda and phoenix. I believe no one is seriously
interested in improving boost lambda at the moment because this code
gonna become obsolete soon.
