Because of input_iterator_tag, those should already be the defaults, if I 
read the code correctly.

A test I ran seemed to indicate that analysis is correct, and there is no 
need to specify them.

PS: The code should really be changed to use the more modern 
boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp header, but it works so I haven't gotten around 
to changing it, and probably won't until after the review.
