5697,iterator_facade::operator-> is broken for proxy references,Jeffrey Hellrung <jeffrey.hellrung@…>,Dave Abrahams,"For the detailed discussion:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/221041

Briefly, when using a proxy reference in one's iterator derived from iterator_facade, the implementation of operator-> tries to construct a value_type const * from the expression &x, where x has (declared) type reference.  I see no reason why a reference* (a pointer to a proxy reference object) could be expected to be a convertible to a value_type const *.  I believe a correct implementation of operator_arrow_proxy would store the proxy reference object, not an object of the value_type.  As far as I know, this does not violate any iterator requirements.

I will gladly submit a patch once it is acknowledged that this is, indeed, a bug (or before, if requested).
