cbegin()/cend() aren't all that useful unless they also work with the standard library containers. If it's never going to happen for the standard containers, why bother putting it into Boost? Something like "as_const(c)" is a totally different story, of course.
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); } ?
