It is necessary. Without it, 23_containers/vector/types/1.cc will not
compile since greedy_ops'
operator- will fight with the move iterator's operator-. I mentioned it in
the commit changelog.

Perhaps std::distance() is better here.

I can remove it. The test was inspired by other tests in the directory, so
copying was involved.

I do have FSF copyright assignment, at least for glibc/binutils, not sure
about gcc.
