I've just encountered a problem in one of our template design and wondered
what could be done about it. It concerns const reference return value from
a templated member function, for example:

template <class T> class SmartPtr
{
	// ... whatever:
public:
	const T & Dereference ();
};

The problem arise when T is instantiated with a Container of constants:

SmartPtr<const int> a;

Here we have a double const which is not supported by the compiler, nor the
standard, I believe.  Is there a fix or should we abandon all hope of using
const returns in templates ?
