As an aside, the "correct" fix for this IMHO is for range-based for to
support a mechanism for marking the RHS 'const', whether or not it
otherwise would be so.

Worst case, Qt could (should?) implement something like:

  struct QConstWrapper<ContainerType>
  {
    ContainerType::const_iterator begin() const;
    ContainerType::const_iterator end() const;
    // remaining "magic" elided
  };

  QConstWrapper<ContainerType> qConst(ContainerType const&);

That said, note that range-based for also differs from foreach in that
the former operates on the original container, whereas the latter
operates on a copy.
