It seems to me that the standard should specify whether iterator::reference must outlive its iterator. Then the current counting_iterator is wrong. Or iterator::reference may die with its iterator, then reverse_iterator is wrong. If the C++ standard is quiet on this issue, maybe it should be clarified.
