RE: [boost] iterator adaptors

I also just got a chance to look at iterator_adaptors.

I would prefer that the transform_iterator_traits take as an argument the
return type of the transform. The default value would be
AdaptableUnaryFunction::result_type. This way it could be changed easier by
the user. (Ok, by the VTL library,)

I would also prefer it was in its own namespace. Things like boost::type<T>
are way too generic to leave hanging out.

It would also be handy if there were in addition to
"default_iterator_policies" "forward_iterator_policies"
"bidirectional_iterator_policies" "random_access_iterator_policies",
"reverse_random_access..." etc. and that "default_..." was "forward_...."

Or even better, that the policy was default selected based on the iterator
trait.

I've only looked over the code, but in any case I vote it should be
accepted. 

  (I've applied to the Supreme Court of Powelland and they've ordered that
the Secretary of Statements  accept these new votes) Ok, if you don't accept
these votes, it should fail, or we should reconsider this next year when
people are done arguing about the directory structure, as I've only seen 3
votes/reviews go by, and they were all late.)
