It seams to me that a more generic construct would be similar to
vector_binary, but one, which would keep an instance f_ of the functor
as a member, and then call f_.apply(e1_(i), e2_(i)) instead of calling
functor_type::apply(e1_(i), e2_(i)).
Then you could keep r1 and r2 in f_ and define apply() the way you want.
This would be very similar to e.g. how STL containers handle custom comparators.
