Yes, that what I think is needed for the first introductory example.
By the way, after getting the ia_experiment to work, I went on to write a
real iterator (for iterating over the names in a path). It was very easy
to write and worked right away. Having ia_experiment.cpp in front of me was
very helpful.
Dave's suggestion for a list iterator would probably be more understandable
to more people.
