As the author of multi_pass, I had originally envisioned submitting it
separate from spirit. But, one day I realized that I couldn't think of
a use for it outside of spirit. Maybe I'm just not imaginitive enough!
But, I personally never had the need to convert an input iterator
into a forward iterator, other than with spirit. multi_pass does solve
a very real problem for spirit, and that's why it exists.
So, if there is some interest, I'll submit it.
