[C++-sig] Can't use make_function to wrap base class method?

Ahh, that makes perfect sense.  Thanks!  Does it make sense to add 
something like:

make_method<Derived>(&Derived::method)

Which would just call make_function with the appropriate cast?  Perhaps 
I could give it a shot if it seems like a good idea.  Or perhaps it 
would be better to have a form of make_function like this?
