That's unclear.  The C++ standard is contradictory, and this is
still an open issue before the library working group.  The
standardization committee hasn't yet decided how this issue
should be resolved.  (There are several related issues.  Some of
the signatures in set and multiset make no sense unless iterator
and const_iterator are the same type.)
