A replacement for std::bind2nd

Question

I have a foo which is a std::vector. It represents the \"edge\" values for a set of ranges.

For example, if foo is

Answer 1

What about going straight from Stone Age (bind2nd) to the Iron Age with a C++14 generic lambda, bypassing the Bronze Age (bind)?

std::find_if(foo.begin(), foo.end(), [&](auto const& elem) { 
    return elem > bar; 
}); 

And if the input is sorted

std::lower_bound(foo.begin(), foo.end(), bar); 

Lambdas read much easier and are also easier to inline than std::bind expresions. See e.g. Lavevej's CppCon 2015 talk.
