I'm strongly against it. The harder it is to see all the implementations of a given function `f`, the harder it is to know they exist and keep them in sync. In my experience spreading these things out leads to real bugs.

I would like that too. but that's not a blocking issue on this review.
I also don't agree that we'll see more `std::function` implementations in the future. We won't. We're not going to standardize additional features to `std::function` unless they're not ABI breaking. That is, if the standard does `function` it'll won't require another version of it.
Maybe you were thinking about things like `std::unique_function`?

Note that having the C++03 functions be in a separate file with no relation or interleaving with the C++11 implementation has caused plenty of bugs in the past where they diverge.
