For what it's worth, I think I merely updated the existing checking classes to use the new protocols, so I probably didn't consider making those changes. Feel free to fix them :-)

Reassigning to the proper maintainer of BCCL, as listed in libs/maintainers.txt. Perhaps Jeremy could at least tell us if there was a reason for not enforcing the convertibility of reference to value_type for input iterators.
