I didn't insist too much though, because of the fact that mem_fn has templates in both its arguments and its return types, and boost and std don't use the same syntax. That feels like a lot of work for something that is supposed to be only a temporary band-aid. At least it felt that way rather late yesterday evening when I was wrapping this up.

I suppose it also depends on the extent to which you expect the use of ::mem_fn to florish ... I'm not familiar with your code or the reasons you turned to that function, so I cannot judge this.
I agree that temporary code has the habit of sticking around...

Indeed, we're talking about the system compiler on OS X 10.9, so anyone running that version of the OS won't be able to get a newer one from Apple without upgrading the OS first. It isn't hard to get a newer version from the likes of MacPorts or Fink or HomeBrew, but in my experience they tend to be up to twice as slow. Which means that I for one always try the system compiler first. (Besides, it's not like llvm + clang don't take up significant space, so if one can make do with just the system compiler that's always preferable.)

Anyway, I'll look into your suggestion.
