I am confused. As far as I understand, Bo Persson just posted that this has been clarified:

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2807.html#198

So reference/pointer do not outlive their iterator, and in our case, boost::counting_iterator is correct and boost::reverse_iterator is wrong.

Or what am I missing?
