10081,Boost.Algorithm: clamp: discrepancy in parameter & return types between code and online documentation,Martin Moene <m.j.moene@…>,Marshall Clow,"The online documentation of the clamp algorithm of Boost.Algorithm reads [1]:

{{{#!cpp
template<typename V>
V clamp ( V val, V lo, V hi );

template<typename V, typename Pred>
V clamp ( V val, V lo, V hi, Pred p );
}}}

whereas the code [2] passes parameters and return value by const reference. Similarly for the sequence variant.

I'm wondering if this is on purpose or that it is a mistake in the documentation?
