The first follow-up to your reply captured the kind of messiness bind can bring in C++. So far, all your examples are trivial (lack argument reordering, function composition, etc...). It's true that your examples look clean, but the devil will be in the details.
I see. The only problem is that very few people seem to use std.bind; there are few interesting examples of arbitrary partial argument binding that need formalization. The one good example I know of is those float vector permutations, but nobody in their right mind would use a delegate for that!
That all makes it even more appealing to stick with a five-liner in std.functional that gets currying into the bag (which is a useful and low-hanging fruit) and call std.bind history. Makes sense?
