  12 Earlier efforts that have influenced the library design:
  13
  14 * The [@http://staff.cs.utu.fi/BL/ Binder Library] by Jaakko J\u00E4rvi;
  15
  16 * The [@boost:/libs/lambda/index.html Lambda Library] (now part of Boost) by
  17   Jaakko J\u00E4rvi and Gary Powell (the successor to the Binder Library);
  18
  19 * [@http://more.sourceforge.net/ Extensions to the STL] by Petter Urkedal.

  21 Doug Gregor suggested that a visitor mechanism would allow `bind` to
  22 interoperate with a signal/slot library.
  23
  24 John Maddock fixed a MSVC-specific conflict between `bind` and the
  25 [@boost:/libs/type_traits/index.html type traits library].
  26
  27 Numerous improvements were suggested during the formal review period by Ross
  28 Smith, Richard Crossley, Jens Maurer, Ed Brey, and others. Review manager was
  29 Darin Adler.
  30
  31 The precise semantics of `bind` were refined in discussions with Jaakko
  32 J\u00E4rvi.
  33
  34 Dave Abrahams fixed a MSVC-specific conflict between `bind` and the
  35 [@boost:/libs/utility/iterator_adaptors.htm iterator adaptors library].
  36
  37 Dave Abrahams modified `bind` and `mem_fn` to support `void` returns on
  38 deficient compilers.
  39
  40 Mac Murrett contributed the "pascal" support enabled by
  41 `BOOST_BIND_ENABLE_PASCAL`.
  42
  43 The alternative `bind(type<R>(), f, ...)` syntax was inspired by a discussion
  44 with Dave Abrahams and Joel de Guzman.
