 As others have mentioned, it'll break code which
depends on the implicit conversion of your T; also
(i++).member will not work and & (i++) will not
produce what you expect -- there might be other
drawbacks, i don't know.

  Boost seem to have objections against it, but
a solution can be a parametrized incrementable...

 It's not my idea; i've heard about this from
John Hickin when discussing proxies for thread-safety.
