//  MACRO:         BOOST_NO_POINTER_TO_MEMBER_CONST
//  TITLE:         pointers to const member functions
//  DESCRIPTION:   The compiler does not correctly handle
//                 pointers to const member functions, preventing use
//                 of these in overloaded function templates.
//                 See boost/functional.hpp for example.
