Compatibility with Boost.Bind/Boost.Phoenix

[Flamefire]

Currently it seems to be impossible to use Boost.Bind/Boost.Phoenix with kaguya. But those are required to use lambdas before C++11.

My sample usage is:

#include <boost/bind.hpp>
std::string LuaInterfaceBase::Translate(const std::string& key){...}
lua["_"] = kaguya::function(boost::bind(&LuaInterfaceBase::Translate, this, _1));

#include <boost/phoenix.hpp>
std::string LuaInterfaceBase::Translate(const std::string& key){...}
lua["_"] = kaguya::function(boost::phoenix::bind(&LuaInterfaceBase::Translate, this, boost::phoenix::placeholders::arg1));

I get the following errors:

[OvermindDL1]

That seems odd. Boost.Bind and Boost.Phoenix just create bog-standard Function Objects (just like the C++11+ std::function supports). Does kaguya's function wrapper not support that? If not it should switch to boost::function (which can be embedded and re-name-spaced via one of the boost tools).

[Flamefire]

Was thinking the same, but there seems to be some more magic going on. However there is an undocumented template version of kaguya::function that takes the function signature as its first template param. Using this works.

[OvermindDL1]

param. Using this works.

Ahh, that makes sense then, function object's can have multiple overrides in the same object so it could not distinguish otherwise without an argument unifying it, which a template argument would do (which is why both boost::function and std::function require it in all cases).

[Flamefire]

Ah ok. Then this is a documentation issue.
