[lib.std.iterator.tags] 24.3.3
The example in par4 seems to have meaningless
template arguments:

  ----------------
  4 [Example: If a C + + program wants to define a bidirectional
  iterator for some data structure containing double and such
  that it works on a large memory model of the implementation,
  it can do so with:

  class MyIterator :
  public iterator <bidirectional_iterator_tag
                  , double, long, T*, T&>
  {
  // code implementing ++, etc.
  };

  5 Then there is no need to specialize the iterator_traits
  template.  -end example]
  ----------------


Shouldnt this be ...

  class MyIterator :
  public iterator <bidirectional_iterator_tag
                  , double, long, double __far*, double __far&>
  {
  // code implementing ++, etc.
  };

?

(the implementation specific large memory model with ptrdif=long and
__far has been introduced in a Note, 2 pages before, 24.3.1/par2)



Thanks,
Markus.
