Milestone:  To Be Determined          |   Component:  property_tree
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0              |    Severity:  Problem

 The following won't compile
  try { /*...*/ }

  catch( const boost::property_tree::ptree_bad_data &e )

  { std::cout << e.data<std::string>(); }

 as the relevant member function template is not const. Additionally, I
 think the documentation should give a reminder or a hint that a template
 parameter is necessary, and why this is the case.
