The reason I thought you were talking about type_traits.h is that I
couldn't find any mention of concept_checks.h in the SGI STL or
anywhere on the web for that matter.  Information about iterators
(iterator_traits) is required by the standard and SGI puts it in
stl_iterator.h.  I'd be interested to see what else they do in
concept_checks.h.  Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
