The model is usually more like, "Try to assign whatever you have to
the output iterator. If it compiles, you have a valid value type in
hand, or some valid conversion exists. If it doesn't compile, you
don't have a valid value type."

Can you give an example where one would need to know the value_type of
the output iterator?
