That works great for pointers, but now not for POD, e.g.,
const int m = get<int>(p,"int");
Any ideas of how to get this to work with POD and pointers?

Why can't you use boost::enable_if and only enable the get<> template if the argument is const? This imposes the restriction that you actually invoke the get<> template as follows:

const int m = get<const int>(p, "int");

const int* m2 = get<const int*>(p, "int*");

but it still seems to work. Is this unsatisfactory for some reason?
