Some ublas functional need temporary variables to compute the results. These
are usually defines as type_traits<T>::value_type or
type_traits<T>::real_type. This works if T is mutable, but it fails if T is a
constant type. (Thus you cannot compute norm_1 of vector<const double>).
There are some possible solutions:
1. each functional has to remove the constness of value_type or real_type
(by boost::remove_const<..> from boost/traits/remove_const.hpp)
2. we modify type_traits to always use the unqualified type (but this may
break other expressions)
3. we add an unqualified_value_type, unqualified_real_type to type_traits.
(this requires changes on type traits and functionals)
What do others think about the three possibilities?
