I think iterators for contiguous containers
(std::vector<T>,std::array<T>,std::basic_string<T>) should all be T*.

template<typename T>
class vector
{
public:
      using pointer = T*;
      using iterator = pointer;
};


It could solve following issues:
1.passing through C APIs
2.contiguous Iterator/Container issue(if Container<T>::iterator is T*, it
is a contiguous container)
3.converting one container to another easily
4.easy to learn and understand
