[Boost-users] boost::zip_iterator does not work with std::istreambuf_iterator

  1. boost::zip_iterator requires a readable iterator.
  2. std::istreambuf_iterator is a readable iterator.
  3. boost::zip_iterator cannot dereference std::istream_iterator because 
std::istreambuf_iterator returns by value while boost::zip_iterator returns 
by reference; the exact error message is
  invalid initialization of non-const reference of type ‘char&’ from an 
rvalue of type ‘std::istreambuf_iterator<char, std::char_traits<char> 
>::char_type’

Contradiction?  Am I missing anything?
