#12263: ublas matrix iterators do not include "->" member access (dereferencing)
operator, although the operator is referenced in the documentation
--------------------------------+---------------------
 Reporter:  douglas.schuyler@…  |      Owner:  guwi17
     Type:  Bugs                |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined    |  Component:  uBLAS
  Version:  Boost 1.61.0        |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                      |
--------------------------------+---------------------
 The documentation for the ublas matrix iterators includes the "->"
 operator for member access (dereferencing), but the source code does not
 include this operator in either the exposed iterator classes (i.e.
 iterator1/2) nor the base classes (i.e. random_access_iterator_base).

 Documentation:

 Iterator1 class reference:

 Similar observations have been made on StackOverflow, but appear to have
 not been written up.  See here:

 work-on-boostnumericublasvector

 This appears to be an oversight, but appears to reach throughout uBLAS.
