So IIUC 'begin()' returns a structure and this structure on this
structure is passed on to the constructor of an iterator? So 'begin()'
and 'end()' do not return an iterator, right?
Could you enlighten me with e.g. a 5-line pseudo-code that shows how you
create an iterator over all non-zero's of a sparse matrix and an
iterator over all (including the structural zero's) elements in the
sparse matrix.

Sure by all means. I'm interested to see what you mean exactly. I do not
really like 'nz_begin()' and 'all_begin()' either but I could not come
up with a viable alternative.
You can checkout my current code from the CVS for instance (it's on a
branch called 'tk1'), adapt some files according to your ideas and post
these to the ml.
