Sigh.  Defect report time.

For reasonable code sequences to work, containers need to have conversions
between non-const iterators and the corresponding const_iterator.  I
could have sworn that I read language like that before (so I had
vaguely assumed it was in the standard somewhere), but evidently it is
not.
