Probably not. Much of the trouble is from the rvalue detection stuff, 
and my understanding of GCC's typeof is that it strips top level 
references. Besides, BOOST_FOREACH has well-defined customization 
points. To keep the customization points consistent across typeof and 
non-typeof compilers, you would first need to implement Boost.Range with 
typeof, and then build BOOST_FOREACH on top of that.
