I note the following from your documentation of Boost.Iterator

   "Writing standard-conforming iterators is tricky, but the need  
comes up often.".

A clear penchant for understatement I see.  ;-)

It worries me slightly that subtleties of undefined behaviour in  
pointer arithmetic could easily go unnoticed.  My unscientific poll  
of people around here turned up zero correct answers to the basic  
problem; this is the Physics department though.

Thanks for that, I will read, cogitate, deliberate and digest!

Regards,
