------- Comment #4 from chris at bubblescope dot net 2007-03-17 17:52 ------- The main problem I can see with changing this is that you would have to decide if you were going to remove the same options from the iterators of all other standard containers. To not do so would seem to be inconsistent, but doing so would probably break a huge amount of code.
This seems to be part of a larger issue, should these typedefs be defined in any of the standard iterators. Having an "offical decision" by the standards committee would probably be useful. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31247
