[boost] Re: const T & const and C++98

Thanks for the responses to my question. My generic list formatting library 
used the
   const T & const ref;
construct when passing values. This was because I had been looking at the 
spirit library and read
   T const & ref;
as
   T & const ref;

I then interpreted that in the way pointers and const work. My mistake.

The first response answered my question, and I have reverted back to using
   const T & ref;
in the code. I did not expect it to produce a large discussion.
