And I've just updated the code that goes with the paper. It is in the
boost/development/iterator directory (can get it through CVS). I haven't
yet updated the docs in CVS, but they will just be the same as the above
paper.

The next step will be to provide a version of iterator adaptors, and a
version of the Standard algorithms that use these new traits classes.

Cheers,
Jeremy
