2105. Inconsistent requirements on const_iterator's value_type

Discussion:

In the FDIS, Table 96 specifies X::const_iterator as a "constant iterator type whose value type is T". However, Table 97 specifies X::const_reverse_iterator as an "iterator type whose value type is const T" and which is defined as reverse_iterator<const_iterator>. But reverse_iterator::value_type is just "typename iterator_traits<Iterator>::value_type" 24.5.1.2 [reverse.iterator], so const_iterator and const_reverse_iterator must have the same value_type.

The resolution to issue 322(i) implies that const_reverse_iterator should change.

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to the FDIS.

Change Table 97 — "Reversible container requirements" as indicated
