Fragile perhaps, but it is definitely possible to be safe (which is more 
important, IMHO). Ada.Containers are safe in this aspect, as any attempt to 
mutate the container ("tampering") is required to raise Program_Error. 
That's true as long as the iterator or reference exist. (Note that 
"tampering" only is an issue if the container is changed; it's not a problem 
for the individual element contents to be changed, which some exceptions 
having to do with discriminants or tags.)
