Hi,

in associative_vector/indirect.zip you'll find an implementation of 
generalized wrapped iterators, and some tools for making a 
specialized wrapped iterator which does double-indirection. There is 
a test file which "proves" that it works. I've been using GCC 2.95.2 
and MSVC6.3 with the STLport for testing. MSVC6.3 support requires a 
minor extension to the STLport which Boris and I have worked out; let 
me know if you need this and I will send it to you.

This is the next step in the evolution of my associative_vector 
facility. You'll notice a partially-complete indirect_container.hpp 
in that directory; I'd love to enlist someone to finish that up. The 
point of this is to transform associative_vector into a generalized 
associative container template which can wrap an indirect vector (for 
pointer/reference stability across inserts) or a deque, or whatever 
else.

Feedback appreciated,
Dave
