| Does this imply that the following would be possible:
|
|     begin( as_reverse(x) )

rbegin(x) is alreeady there as a parallel to x.rbegin().

|     begin( as_const( as_reverse(x) ) )
|     begin( as_reverse( as_const(x) ) )

yes, I think so with some metaprgramming, but its getting quite hard to read
compared to the single version.
