// Returns a function object, overloaded for unary and binary usage, that
// visits its arguments using visitor (or a copy of visitor) via
//  * apply_visitor( visitor, [argument] )
// under unary invocation, or
//  * apply_visitor( visitor, [argument1], [argument2] )
// under binary invocation.
//
// NOTE: Unlike other apply_visitor forms, the visitor object must be
//   non-const; this prevents user from giving temporary, to disastrous
//   effect (i.e., returned function object would have dead reference).
