Hmmm... There is no direct equivalent to the index operator in the STL map
in AI-302, so it's not as if AI-302 is "missing" the const version of that
operator, since it doesn't have that operator at all.  (The 5-parameter
Insert operation provides the same functionality, but not the same syntax,
as the index operator.)

What operations would you like AI-302 to provide, that you think are
missing?  It would help the designers of that library if you could be more
specific.  Otherwise we can't help you.
