Yes.  The behaviour of circular_buffer and cycle_iterator are not the same. 
I grabbed the latest circular_buffer.zip from FILES, but there is no doc. 
AFAICT, the main difference is that cycle_iterator is meant to be a fixed
size, while I believe circular_buffer is variable size up to a maximum? 
cycle_iterator (and Ring) are also smaller and simpler code.
