 In Boost.Foreach, non-const rvalue collections are treated as const
 collections.
 So the following code does not compile:

 {{{
 #include <vector>
 #include <boost/foreach.hpp>

 int main (int argc, char* argv[])
 {
     BOOST_FOREACH(int& x, std::vector<int>(3)) {}
     return 0;
 }
 }}}

 I think treating them as non-const collections is more intuitive
 and, at least, is consistent with C++0x range-based for.
