[boost] boost::add_reference breaks type deduction

I am trying to use boost:add_reference in a template function to protect against the reference of reference problems, but it is breaking type deduction and I was wondering if any one know of a solution to this. template<typename Type> read(std::istream& stream, Type& data); This works properly of course. ----------------------------------------- template<typename Type> read (std::istream& stream, typename boost::add_reference<Type>::type data); This one does not work properly and I have to explicitly specify the type.
