The line_iterator may not be more simple, but it is certainly more
concrete (no Base template), and, like the linked list example, shows off
the "from scratch" purpose of iterator_adaptor, whereas the transform and
indirect show off the "adapter" purpose of iterator_adaptor. Also, it is
different enough from the linked list example to make it interesting.
Cheers,
Jeremy
