Maybe template your iterator on the base iterator, and dispatching when
necessary depending on whether that base iterator is the const iterator or
the mutable iterator? E.g.,

template< class Base >
struct my_iterator
    : boost::iterator_adaptor< Base >
{ };

typedef my_iterator< base_iterator > iterator;
typedef my_iterator< base_const_iterator > const_iterator;
