Proposed resolution:

In [function.objects] paragraph 1, remove the sentence:

They are important for the effective use of the library.

Remove [function.objects] paragraph 2, which reads:

Using function objects together with function templates increases the expressive power of the library as well as making the resulting code much more efficient.

In [function.objects] paragraph 4, remove the sentence:

The corresponding functions will inline the addition and the negation.
