Since 1.56, any_range use static cast of reference instead of implicit conversion

[vdavid@…]

Since 1.56, when dereferencing, any_range tries to use static cast of reference instead of implicit conversion like in 1.55.

Here is an example that works with 1.55 but fails to compile with 1.56.

#include <boost/range/any_range.hpp>
#include <memory>
#include <vector>

struct A {};

int main() {
    std::vector<std::shared_ptr<A> > v;
    boost::any_range<std::shared_ptr<const A>,
                     boost::forward_traversal_tag,
                     std::shared_ptr<const A>,
                     std::ptrdiff_t> r(v);
}

A work-around is to go through "boost::adaptors::transform" to do the conversion.

Drat, this is an unanticipated side-effect of a change to help other users with user-defined types.

I shall look at this during this week.
