One implementation might be better in some circumstances and another implementation might be better in other circumstances, hence my claim that we should not go for a solution that assumes at most two implementations.


Our job is to provide a universal implementation of `std::function`, and hence pick one implementation which weights the different alternatives and chooses what we believe to be best in the majority of cases.

Just above you suggested we get ready to add more than two implementations, but here you're setting a very high bar for adding one more?
I read this as a seeming contradiction.
