It is the oposite way round! Given a distance in storage (memory) between two
elements it returns the equivilent difference for an iterator2 index.
distance_i does the same for an iterator1.

The functions are used for computing differences for two "Indexed Random
Access Column/Row Iterator" and only work when the two iterators are
'reachable' from each other.

I don't think these functions have much use other then for the one purpose
they are used for in matrix iterator types.
