Also, I don't see any reason why a const T& overload of boost::fill cannot exists as long as the const-iterator is actually a mutable iterator (like with iterator_range<MutableRange>).

Also note that in a world with perfect forwarding, we shuold probably specify fill() like

template< class Rng > void fill( Rng&& rng, range_value<Rng>::type x );

Wouldn't this stop fill from working on ranges of abstract types?

I don't know. Usually when deal with abstract types, I don't use fill() for anything because those types are not copyable or assignable. -Thorsten
