[Boost-users] BOOST_FOREACH and iterating by reference

I tried BOOST_FOREACH on a slightly modified version of the sample in the
documentation. Instead of iterating by value,  I iterate by reference:

extern std::vector<float> get_vector_float();
BOOST_FOREACH( float& f, get_vector_float() )
{
} 

When compiling with VisualC++ 8.0, I receive the following error message:

error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const float' to 'float &'
Conversion loses qualifiers

Is there a work-around ?
