Comment (by anonymous):

 Hi,

 Thanks for the patch. However, I do not think its the right way to do it.
 I think it generates too many iterator types, and I think there must be a
 much simpler fix.

 I'm thinking out of the box, partially because I cannot remember why the
 code takes parameters U and T. Maybe it is because that U and T are always
 either X or const X.

 That is, it may be possible to fix the problem by using enable_if<> that
 requires that
 is_same< remove_const<U>, remove_const<T> >::value is true.
