// Revision History
// 04 Mar 2001 - More attempted fixes for Intel C++ (David Abrahams)
// 03 Mar 2001 - Put all implementation into namespace
//               boost::detail::iterator_traits_. Some progress made on fixes
//               for Intel compiler. (David Abrahams)
// 02 Mar 2001 - Changed BOOST_MSVC to BOOST_MSVC_STD_ITERATOR in a few
//               places. (Jeremy Siek)
// 19 Feb 2001 - Improved workarounds for stock MSVC6; use yes_type and
//               no_type from type_traits.hpp; stopped trying to remove_cv
//               before detecting is_pointer, in honor of the new type_traits
//               semantics. (David Abrahams)
// 13 Feb 2001 - Make it work with nearly all standard-conforming iterators
//               under raw VC6. The one category remaining which will fail is
//               that of iterators derived from std::iterator but not
//               boost::iterator and which redefine difference_type.
// 11 Feb 2001 - Clean away code which can never be used (David Abrahams)
// 09 Feb 2001 - Always have a definition for each traits member, even if it
//               can't be properly deduced. These will be incomplete types in
//               some cases (undefined<void>), but it helps suppress MSVC errors
//               elsewhere (David Abrahams)
// 07 Feb 2001 - Support for more of the traits members where possible, making
//               this useful as a replacement for std::iterator_traits<T> when
//               used as a default template parameter.
// 06 Feb 2001 - Removed useless #includes of standard library headers
//               (David Abrahams)
