## Detailed Description

Binders turn functions/functors with two arguments into functors with a single argument, storing an argument to be applied later. For example, a variable `B` of type `binder1st` is constructed from a functor `f` and an argument `x`. Later, B's `operator()` is called with a single argument `y`. The return value is the value of `f(x,y)`. `B` can be called with various arguments (y1, y2, ...) and will in turn call `f(x,y1)`, `f(x,y2)`, ...

The function `bind1st` is provided to save some typing. It takes the function and an argument as parameters, and returns an instance of `binder1st`.

The type `binder2nd` and its creator function `bind2nd` do the same thing, but the stored argument is passed as the second parameter instead of the first, e.g., `bind2nd`(std::minus<float>(),1.3) will create a functor whose `operator()` accepts a floating-point number, subtracts 1.3 from it, and returns the result. (If `bind1st` had been used, the functor would perform 1.3 - x instead.

Creator-wrapper functions like `bind1st` are intended to be used in calling algorithms. Their return values will be temporary objects. (The goal is to not require you to type names like `std::binder1st<std::plus<int>>` for declaring a variable to hold the return value from `bind1st(std::plus<int>(),5)`.

These become more useful when combined with the composition functions.

These functions are deprecated in C++11 and can be replaced by `std::bind` (or `std::tr1::bind`) which is more powerful and flexible, supporting functions with any number of arguments. Uses of `bind1st` can be replaced by `std::bind(f, x, std::placeholders::_1)` and `bind2nd` by `std::bind(f, std::placeholders::_1, x)`.
