I have discussed the promotion of any_iterator from the Boost.Range
internals into the Boost.Iterator library with Dave Abrahams. We both think
that this would be useful. I have started implementing test cases to cover
the additional use-cases that are not currently tested as part of
Boost.Range. I shall then write appropriate documentation before
any_iterator can then be reviewed by Dave before the final promotion to the
public interface.

I wanted to let everyone know the intent, so to enable decisions
with-respect to using the existing non-public implementation.
