So just like numeric types, there is a core set of iterator
operations that can be used to implement the rest of the iterator
operations. Here's the core set:

//  value_type operator*();
//   self& operator++();
//   self& operator--();
//   self& operator+=(Distance n);
//   self& operator-=(Distance n);
//   friend Distance operator-(const self& x, const self& y);
//   friend bool operator==(const self& x, const self& y);
//   friend bool operator<(const self& x, const self& y);

I'll clean up my current implementation and mail it later today.
