Except that what if the container is passed to something that

incremented when passing it, and if the container were passed
around enough, it could potentially need to be incremented a
lot.
Ranges are potentially another big issue. As I understand it,
there have already been issues with const and ranges with
std.container.Array, because some of the fancy stuff that it
does internally really doesn't work with const (though maybe I
misunderstood).
this has a lot to do with const being virtually useless with
structs
