Thanks for the explanation. 

Would it not be worthwhile putting something like this in the 
documentation? Perhaps in iterator_facade.html#tutorial-example where 
the CategoryOrTraversal template parameter is explained and where the 
explanation mentions 'iterator tranversal concepts' only. Indeed 
clicking on the link of that name takes me to a point where the 
tables again mention only traversal.

Back to reading the docs.

Kind regards,
Angus
