In fact in the actual C++11 there isn't much *explicitly* about the 
things I mentioned, which, for sure, at some point in the past people 
envisaged.

Good, good. Then, probably we want to add at least a testcase exercising 
the kind of call you mentioned, would be also useful for the users in 
terms of "documentation", example usage.

In the meanwhile I saw your other message, now I remember, at least I'm 
happy that the same "weird" idea occurred to Pablo too ;)
