Coming back to your problem, what you want isn't exactly 
a skipping iterator, but one which modifies the container.

It's a very dangerous thing, as it will invalidate other 
iterators to the same container.

Beside the technical details of how to make writing such 
wrapper easy, I am not sure that I understand what you want 
to do.

I think we should discuss what you want to do before 
trying to find a way to do it. For example, begin with 
the specification or examples of use of the live/cache 
container.
