Sure. Iterator can be named some "member_iterator_t", and helper function -
like you suggested, since the user normally calls the helper function.

Maybe, "inp_iterator_adaptor" and "out_iterator_adaptor"
can save some typing. Anyway, if there is "shared_ptr" and not
"shared_pointer", why not establish "iter" as an abbreviation for
"iterator"?
