Back in 2011, Howard Hinnant and I put together an is_iterator type trait based on code Howard had developed and used over a period of time.

See http://beman.github.io/is_iterator/is_iterator.hpp for the actual code

See http://beman.github.io/is_iterator/is_iterator_test.cpp for a test program.

AFAIK an iterator T doesn't have to provide an iterator_category typedef, only std::iterator_traits<T> does. Therefore this implementation wouldn't work for all iterators.
