[boost] [serialization] and list<shared_ptr<const T> >

If I try and write a list<shared_ptr<const T> > to an archive, I get a compilation error. I'm guessing this is because the objects in the list are shared_ptr<const T> The documentation for const members says to use const_cast<T&>(t) but when you want to try and write a list, you can't do this unless you write all the objects manually. Is there a way for serialization to be able to handle the const implicitly (for containers at least)? Otherwise the only solutions I can see are - Don't use const objects - Write all elements of the list ourselves. Thanks Russell
