Making Iterators, Views and Containers Easier to Write with Boost.STLInterfaces
summary
Claims that Boost.STLInterfaces actually generates correct iterators, views and sequence containers with far less code, implemented as CRTP bases mirroring CRTP view_interface pattern and back‑ported to C++14/17; shows concrete tools like iterator_interface, proxy_iterator_interface and sequence_container_interface; demonstrates a real concat view and proxy zip/adapter iterators that work; reports concrete wins — e.g. reduces tested members from 61 to 22 and fixes latent bugs — and emphasises proxy iterator support and noexcept/constexpr readiness.
