Ok, I REALLY need to get a better proof-reader:

I assume the following are the same type (and not just equivalent)

typedef typename add_ref< add_const< T >::type >::type  ref_const_t;
typedef typename add_const< add_ref< T >::type >::type  const_ref_t;

Instead I get 2 distinct types with all Borland compiler I have access
to:

T const &
T & const

The latter does not look like a valid C++ type to me, and I have
recently filed a bug report with Borland about this.  I am sure they
would like to hear I am wrong, and their compiler is correct ;?)
