There are a number of interesting points in your original post but I 
couldn't find time to answer all of those.

I can inject this for now: :) assumeSorted returns a range object. The 
concept of a const range object is flawed because by nature iteration of 
a range happens by mutating it: For example, popBack has to do that.

So, it's normal that any range algorithm will assume a non-const object.
