Well I don't want to return by value, and I most certainly don't want
to return a const reference (Since this Pass object must be mutable).
For now I did a const_cast in the dereference() function and now I'm
returning a non-const reference.

If there is no solution to this, then this is broken. Any chance boost
can fix this? I really don't think it makes much since for constness
to be an issue here when I never designed my iterator to be const to
begin with.
