I know it seems like "if it could be const, we should mark it const", but  
does it always make sense?  I mean, consider this example.  Should  
front/back/empty be const?  What are ever the chance that someone has a  
const range?  Consider that a const range is near useless (it can't do  
it's primary function -- iterate).

Just wondering...
