Why can't const_begin be implemented as follows (for standard library
containers):
template<typename Range>
typename range_const_iterator<X>::type
const_begin(Range& rng)
{
return begin(static_cast<const Range&>(rng));
}
template<typename Range>
typename range_const_iterator<X>::type
const_begin(const Range& rng)
{
return begin(rng);
}
?
