Agreed. I'd like to try LLVM as an example of a huge codebase tomorrow to see how many false-positives there actually are.

Generally, I can see the point of requiring `const` and providing options to reduce the set of allowed classes to `std::container`'s, but at the same time my thoughts are as follows:

1. Chances of people misusing C++ so much are very low. That's something I can check tomorrow just by running the check on few large open source codebases to see whether it's true.
2. If people are misusing C++ it's their fault anyway. One can do whatever he likes to do. One can rewrite all interfaces to STL containers and make `size()` and `empty()` most sophisticated functions the world has ever seen while performing whatever strange operations inside of them. Thus, I am not very supportive of the idea "let's try to think about all weird cornercases".

I'm very curious to see how many false-positives there would be in LLVM codebase, for example. I'll try it tomorrow.
