I agree, I think the thing to do here is to be explicit about what tag you want to use, rather than pulling this out of Boost.Iterator's detail namespace; e.g., the above prefers conversions to std::input_iterator_tag over std::output_iterator_tag, which could have subtle effects in some situations.

Hello Jeff,
Since input_iterator and output_iterator are orthogonal concepts, I can't imagine what piece of sensible code would cause subtle effects due to preferring input_iterator over output_iterator. Do you have an example in mind?
Thanks, Ron
Nope, nothing in particular in mind. I would say, if you really think that traversal_with_category (I think that's what it's called...) should be pulled out to the public API, file a trac ticket and I'll look more closely at it once I find time to familiarize myself with the boost development process (I've found wiki's with lots of information, just haven't parsed through them yet). In the meantime, though, this can be a change made entirely locally to whatever component you need it in (I'm sorry, I've since forgotten the context). - Jeff
