Someone else (Olaf?) then takes care of the iterator helpers.
So, what do you think?
I'm very interested in this. The addition of rvalue references in C++11 makes Boost.Operators even more useful than it already is, pending it is move-aware. I have no complaints with these points and am eager to see progress. My only concern has already been stated -- prefer to not break backwards compatibility, and if you do, make the transition as easy as possible with a deprecation period. I think this goes without saying anyway, but there's no harm in stressing it.
What's the idea exactly? implement operator+ in terms of operator+=? That's not always suitable.
