Dear All,
In the pre-redmond mailing Walter Brown discusses the possibility of adding these members to standard container classes:
const_iterator cbegin(); const_iterator cend(); const_reverse_iterator crbegin(); const_reverse_iterator crbegin();
The motiviation is that we want to be able to say explicitly "give me a const iterator" without doing ugly casts. IMO a sound idea.
Given the framework in boost.range these would be absolutely *trivial* to add.
1st vote: for or against adding these?
Against. If the C++ committee likes them, we can add them into a later revision of Boost. Doug
