#3358: return type of functions incorrect

 maybe only documented incorrectly, but given the error messages it still
 takes a few years to figure that out.

 e.g. push_back, documented as:
 typename result_of::push_back<Sequence, T>::type push_back(
     Sequence const& seq, T const& t);

 when it's actually
 typename result_of::push_back<Sequence const, T>::type
     push_back(Sequence const& seq, T const& x)

 note the const.
 I'm not sure why the const is there, but if it is really intended that:
 result_of::push_back<seq_t,int>::type res=push_back(seq,4);
 should result in an error, this should be a major part of the
 documentation.
