Hello,

I'm trying to use overloaded_function. But unfortunately it defines f_ as const,
which makes it not Assignable. Which seems to me, like a unnecessary
limitation. I looked at the docs, but couldn't find any mention of assignment
nor a rationale for this behavior. Is there a specific reason for
overloaded_function
to not be Assignable?

Regards,
