I could but I don't want to. I don't want to mix two different concepts: circular buffer and circular iterator. I think that circular
iterator is a standalone concept which can be used over any kind of container (even over circular buffer).

BTW I'm improving the circular buffer implementation - it will adapt a vector. This will result in performance increase and improvement of
iterator invalidation.
