This sounds like a generalization of my pair iterator to tuples, combined (sic) with a transform. See http://cplusplus.anthonyw.cjb.net/articles.html for the code and the article ("Pairing off iterators" from Overload 51) describing my pair iterators. IMHO, it seems more logical to split the concept, so the grouping of the iterators is separated from the transformation, and the existing transforming iterator adapter can be used for that part. I would be happy to work with you on a submission --- I have been meaning to submit my pair iterators to boost since I wrote them.
