But their name is "reference". Also, std::vector<bool>::reference has a const assignment operator:

constexpr const reference& operator=(bool x) const noexcept;

I think the intent here is to mimic value semantics since assignment actually changes referenced value. Making those functions `const` would be confusing.

std::vector<bool>::reference and std::bitset::reference are both proxies, so even if they themselves are const, they can still be used to change the bit they reference.

Are there any issues?
