Why are requirements about the address operator (&) included in the
CopyConstructible concept at
http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/CopyConstructible.html? This strikes me
as an error of taxonomy, as there is no essential reason why the two
issues belong together. There are many algorithms that require one to be
able to copy values, but don't care about taking addresses, and we have
boost::addressof() anyway.
