At first glance, I tend to fall in the same camp, which is why I'm pushing
for this.

but how about this "new usage", which I think is achievable:

iterator_adaptor<int*, default_iterator_policies,
  named_traits::value_type<int>::category<std::input_iterator_tag> >

but also (equivalently) this:

iterator_adaptor<int, default_iterator_policies,
  int,
  named_traits::iterator_category<std::input_iterator_tag> >

Better?
