Here is a cleaner and better version of my 2 examples.
I didn't take too long to look at them, but some of the lines in zippy_iterator are really long. I think you could improve readability a lot by wrapping and indenting.
I also have a couple of questions, maybe someone can help me to improve these:
Question 1: As a convenience in TestZip.cc, I made the function: template<typename T> inline array<T,2> make_array_2 (T t1, T t2);
Is there a resonable way to make a function make_array_N?
I guess I don't understand what you mean by "reasonable". Is there something wrong with what you did?
Question 2:
In zippy_iterator.H I needed to add const_casts or else I got errors on std::distance. Is there a better approach?
Well, const_cast doesn't really work there as you'll see if you use, e.g., deques of iterators instead of boost::array's of iterators. But I can't see why distance would cause you any trouble without the const_casts in the first place. What errors were you seeing? BTW, thanks for working on these examples.
