They don't. We use these all over the place. That's what confuses me
about this one construct. I don't see an explicit const!

I agree. And since I don't have a good reference that covers the
standard, I can't look it up. (Yes, I could buy the standard, but the
public comment version was rather dry reading.)
As for changing the methods, I agree we eventually need to update them.
In the meantime, we clearly need to get a feel for what's accepted and
what's not! :-)
