[boost] boost::add_reference breaks type deduction

I am trying to use boost:add_reference in a template function to protect
against the reference of reference problems, but it is breaking type
deduction and I was wondering if any one know of a solution to this.

template<typename Type>
read(std::istream& stream, Type& data);

This works properly of course.

-----------------------------------------

template<typename Type>
read (std::istream& stream, typename boost::add_reference<Type>::type data);

This one does not work properly and I have to explicitly specify the type.
