It's needed because of the missing constFind() function. There are two
overloads to find(): one non-const returning an iterator and a const
returning a const_iterator. The only way to select the const version (and
hence avoid detaching) is to have a const container.
That is accomplished by having a const KMacroMapExpander, because that
makes its member variables also const.
In general, mixing iterators is bad and can lead to errors. Qt provides a
macro (QT_STRICT_ITERATORS) that will make comparisons between iterators
and const_iterators fail, so you catch those mistakes.
Also, if you took foo.find(), you should use foo.end() [which is what your
patch does], instead of taking another path to "foo".
