Er... wait. My bad. Does it resolve the issue if 'Container const& c;'
in qtEnumerator is changed to be a copy (i.e. remove the '&') rather
than a reference? (I was thinking it was a copy when I wrote the above,
and, given that this is likely only going to be used on Qt containers,
it probably ought to be a copy.)

Back on the subject of C++ standard proposals, I thought there was
already a proposal regarding lifetime extension of temporaries? (Or did
that die? Or not cover this use case?)
