I second that -- I am quite curious about how much overhead various
headers/libraries impose when you include tham, and when you actually
use them (which seems to be a lot more expensive on msvc). Quick
compile-test-correct cycles are important to me. I don't know the best
way to even measure this.

In my code path and iterator_facade are both used a lot in my own
interfaces and if they are costing me significant build time I will
switch to just string/std::iterator in my headers.
