No. No need. (Also... note that foreach doesn't give you keys either.)

You can instead wrap the container in an iterator wrapper that gives you
iterators rather than values. (I have code somewhere, but not sure I
have permission to share it.) No SIC, and you can still iterate directly
over values.

It's not entirely unlike the trick to do:

  for (auto const i : qtIndexRange(5))

...and looks like:

  for (auto const i : qtEnumerate(map))

Maybe it would be nice for Qt to provide one or both of these?
