Umm, no, it only applies to pointers to data members. In my discharge,
I'd say that the defect macro

BOOST_NO_POINTER_TO_MEMBER_CONST

only applies to pointers to member functions, and the name does not make
it clear this, either.
Anyway, I agree with you that your proposal is clearer. I'll stick to
whatever is finally decided.
