Comment (by pdimov):

 It's true that result_type is defined as a const reference instead of a
 plain type, but what does this have to do with whether the type is
 copyable or not? result_of<F(U&)> is not necessarily M&, by the way. U can
 be a pointer or a smart pointer to a const pointee. What specific problem
 are you having?
