I just seemed to remember problems while doing the container_traits. But
this seems to
compile fine on vc6:

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

template< typename C >
void foo( C& c )
{
    cout << "nonconst";
}

template< typename C >
void foo( const C& c )
{
    cout << "const";
}

int main()
{
    vector<int> v;
    foo( v );
}

so I must be wrong.
