Subject: [PATCH] Updated pointee and indirect_reference so that pointee
 represents the immutability of the pointed-to type via const qualification.
 The pointee of a proxy-based iterator will be const qualified unless a
 mutable reference to the value_type can be bound to the returned proxy.

Added a test for pointee

Fixed iterator_facade so operator[] result type computation didn't
cause a problem with abstract types.

Updated iterator_facade operator[] docs for accuracy.

Allowed Borland to simply fail the indirect_iterator_member_types test
because of its lame const-dropping, instead of trying to work around
it.
