Actually, every iterator (singular, initialized, pointing to viable memory or not) defines its own empty range.
No, I don't believe that's quite correct. There are lots of things one can do with iterators in a range that one cannot do with a minimally-singular iterator.
Well, two anyways: == and !=. Given that the standard doesn't allow those on singular-valued iterators, you're right. I think the standard is a little too strict, here.
