24.1p4 says:
"Constant iterators do not satisfy the requirements for output
iterators,
and the result of the expression *i (for constant iterator i) cannot be
used in an expression where an lvalue is required."

Why is that so?
I would have guessed that *i for constant iterator i yields a non-
modifiable lvalue.
