Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant they could define a 
typedef extended_iterator_category *in addition* to the standard 
typedef iterator_category. I'm not sure the standard algorithms are 
guaranteed to work if the iterator_category is something other than 
one of the standard tags anyway.
