I don't know why the OP required this. I once thought it would be useful 
for implicit conversions to/from boost.function objects, but then I 
realized that even if you get the type_info, you still need to extract the 
object without having a (C++) type. So I ended up having to register 
manually an implicit conversion to/from boost.function for all exposed 
functors, which is not all that convenient. And I have yet to make this 
work for functions.
