* [Bug libstdc++/27404]  New: Rope iterators are not InputIterators

Rope iterators (both const and mutable) do not meet the requirements of an
Input Iterator, because their dereference operator only operates on non-const
objects. Table 72 of the C++98 Standard requires the valid expression *a, where
a is a const iterator, but this valid expression does not work with a non-const
operator*.

To fix, make operator* and everything it relies on "const". This might have an
unfortunate ripple effect; an alternative (but ugly) approach would be to add a
new operator* to _Rope_iterator and _Rope_const_iterator that const_cast's and
forwards:

  reference
  operator*() const
  {
    return *const_cast<_Rope_iterator&>(*this);
  }

  reference
  operator*() const
  {
    return *const_cast<_Rope_const_iterator&>(*this);
  }

This problem is very unlikely to cause problems in user code, but it makes
ConceptGCC sad.

Hi Doug. I'm afraid that, everything considered - in particular the status of
the rope extension - we have to go with the ugly approach: things like
_Rope_iterator::_M_check() actively do change the object...
