[Boost-users] Passing dynamic arguments with boost?

Hi,

After programming with Python and switching back to C++, I am missing 
the flexibility of a scripted language.

Specifically, I am annoyed at having to specify the arguments of a 
function at compile time. Is there anyway I can avoid specifying the 
exact arg structure? I thought boost might do this somehow?

Say for example, I have a message handler function. I want to be able to 
send all sorts of arguments to the same function, which can then deduce 
what to do according to the data held in those args. I don't want to 
have to overload everything as I am passing these message handlers 
around using boost::function/boost::bind.

Thanks
