Research direction

Start by reading the Boost.Bind module and comparing the requested behavior with the linked std::bind_front reference. The issue names no files or tests, so first identify the relevant implementation and test entry points. Done would be a reviewed C++11-compatible bind_front addition to Boost.Bind with matching tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

std::bind_front seems to be a great addition to the standard. However, it's only available from C++20. As I'm working in a C++11 shop, I'm looking for an open source C++11 alternative, but can't seem to find one. I think Boost.Bind would be a great home for it, if someone's up for creating it.
