I think you'd find it interesting to see how the serialization library does it.

The code of these is much more complicated than it needs to be; there is too much coupling between the algorithm and the iterator adaptor.
well, it's implemented in terms of iterator adaptor. I see that as a feature. This gives maximal efficiency and total compile time flexibility and leverages on working/tested/reviewed code - which to me is what boost is about. I can't see how another implementation which doesn't use the already made stuff can be faster or more efficient or add less code to the code base. Robert Ramey
