I don't understand why.
I mean dereferencing an iterator gives you an entity and simply you pass the reference to that entity to the method.
Am I missing something?

Yes, I did it :)

I have to start to use the range-based loop!

I think that a note in the release notes would be useful and may save a lot of time since it is a tricky bug to spot.
Best,
