Are there any Boost support for manipulating function types? Operations I have in mind include: setting return type, setting argument type, changing number of arguments, et cetera.

I just wrote a small library which allows you to do this, by translating between function types and MPL sequences.

Nice.

Thanks.

What are the plans for getting this integrated into the Boost proper?

None, right now -- I wrote it because last night I suddenly discovered I needed it. :-) Tobias Schwinger, whom I mention in the acknowledgments, is working on a version intended to be integrated into the Type Traits library sometime in the near future. (I'm not sure if it will require a review or if John Maddock will simply add it if he finds it satsifactory.). Last night I looked at his version, and it wasn't what I needed, so I wrote my own. I'd be happy to work with Tobias on a unified proposal, if he's interested. On the developers list today I asked him to take a look at it. Best Regards, Jonathan
