This is arguably a bug in gcc's vector implementation in that it doesn't
work property with types that have overloaded unary operator&. It's
possible that I might be able to work around the problem in xpressive.
Feel free to file a bug against xpressive at svn.boost.org. You should
also file a bug against gcc at gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla.
