#8690: duration_units_default - lost return types constness in overridden methods
------------------------------+---------------------
 Reporter:  tmmikolajczyk@…   |      Owner:  viboes
     Type:  Patches           |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  chrono
  Version:  Boost 1.53.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+---------------------
 When implementing custom chrono duration units by deriving from
 duration_units_default<> I noticed the "get_valid_units_start" and
 "get_valid_units_end" is declared to return mutable string_type pointer
 however the base class (duration_units<>) declares them as immutable.
 The attached patch has been generated with the "git diff --no-prefix"
 command (I have boost svn repo cloned with the git-svn tool).
