I turned this into a mini-library, https://github.com/pdimov/lambda2, and I'd like to submit that to Boost.

I'll take the reputational hit and ask the stupid questions. Why don't we just slip this into Boost.Core or Boost.Utility and call it a day? I mean, it is 52 lines...

Boost.Core is a library of components generally useful in other Boost libraries (and possibly Boost users). I don't think this new library will be widely used in Boost libraries. Boost.Utility is more user-oriented, but it has more dependencies than Boost.Lambda2. So if a user wants Lambda2, he will be encumbered with additional dependencies. Personally, I'd prefer to minimize Boost.Core and Boost.Utility and opt for separate libraries, where reasonable. We already have Boost.Lambda and Boost.Phoenix, so having Boost.Lambda2 as a separate library follows the trend.
