Yes, that what I think is needed for the first introductory example.

By the way, after getting the ia_experiment to work, I went on to write a 
real iterator (for iterating over the names in a path).  It was very easy 
to write and worked right away. Having ia_experiment.cpp in front of me was 
very helpful.

Dave's suggestion for a list iterator would probably be more understandable 
to more people.
