Comment (by Sergey Mitsyn <svm at jinr.ru>):

 Hello again,

 I've found [http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/03/134556.php].
 Okay, now the reason to set difference_type to be intmax_t is perfectly
 clear to me. Also, I see that boost::counting_iterator<intmax_t> may
 trigger undefined behavior (as in the example I listed above).

 But still i would like to have an option for
 {{{boost::counting_iterator}}} (or another counting iterator that is not
 called exactly {{{boost::counting_iterator}}}) so it does not spam my
 console with compiler warnings.

 wbr,
