    Fix for data member support, result_type was R instead of R const &
===========================================================================
==

I know it's not completely uniform, but I think the standard generally has
result_type being a value, not a reference. If you make it a reference I
have hassles on compilers without partial specialization because I can only
strip the reference at runtime.

Was this an important thing to do?
