I have a strong suspicion that the resulting lack of a warning is a
fluke.  You shouldn't try to build your own iterators by hand; it's
too error prone.  Like every other hand-written iterator I've seen
posted to a NG or mailing list, your iterator doesn't conform (it's
missing operator->).  Consider using the boost iterator_facade
template instead.
