For the various `set`s, they are constant iterators. But this is not
true for `map`s: the key of the pair is const, but not the value.

What about them? The whole point of `ranges::rbegin/rend` is that
people who write some range type don't have to provide those members
at all if the defaults of `ranges::rbeing/rend` work. And they do work
for `initializer_list`.
