When instantiating a function type, instantiate the return type before

instantiating the parameters. In a perfect world, this wouldn't
matter, and compilers are free to instantiate in any order they
want. However, every other compiler seems to instantiate the return
type first, and some code (in this case, Boost.Polygon) depends on
this and SFINAE to avoid instantiating something that shouldn't be
instantiated.

We could fight this battle, and insist that Clang is allowed to do
what it does, but it's not beneficial: it's more predictable to
instantiate this way, in source order. When we implement
late-specified return types, we'll need to instantiate the return type
last when it was late-specified, hence the FIXME.

We now compile Boost.Polygon properly.
