It is for sure. I just realized that I was a bit unclear when I first
reported the problem - true, "due to default 'void' template
parameters 'output_iterator_helper' fails to compile on MSVC", but it fails
not when you try to use (instantiate) the 'output_iterator_helper' template,
it fails compiling the definition of the class. So basically just including
the header leads to the problems. Sorry about that.
