I guess we're back to your old disagreements about flexibility. Flexibility is fine, but it adds complexity, both for implementors and the user, so flexibility should be added only when absolutely necessary. The eof_iterator is intented to be as simple as possible.

Actually after some consideration I incline to agree with you on most points. Look in cvs on how my version looks now.

I like this version! Further, it has a couple of advantages over mine: - the bool return from the 'get' method is a bit more inuitive - the 'input_iterator_core_access' is nicer than requiring public access to get. - Volodya
