My inclination is that the size of a file doesn't matter hugely; I like
things to be separated by topic. Now that we've incorporated the derivation
from std::iterator<> it really seems like there are two separate topics here
(operators and iterators), but it certainly would simplify the copyright
issues to put the two files together. I guess that's especially true since
so many of my ideas went into the iterator stuff as late modifications. OK,
I'm convinced; let's put it in one file.
