Map Iterator is wrapped for keys and values - compiler error

[sks_cpp]

I am trying to wrap the map iterator for keys and values. However, I seem to
run into problems with the values for const_iterator - it works for all
other combinations. Below I list my code and the compiler error. Please
help if possible. Thanks in advance.
