This would be very helpful, because I could change it on our
(internal) development branch independently.

It doesn't seem necessary to change the iterator type names (I hope
at least). The major change as far as I see is replacing (const_)
reference_type with (const_)reference and (const_)pointer_type with
(const_)pointer. This should work with simple 'search and replace'.
(const_)iterator_type identifies usually other internally used
iterators. Externally usable types should always be const_iterator
and iterator already.
