I don't think that's the take-away.  "unspecified" does not mean that a
good implementation only checks that the type is not an integral type.  It
just means that they don't document whatever they do, as they would with
"implementation-defined".  It also does not mean that a Boost library
(which is not an implementation) should accept "double" as an iterator!
