Ah yes, this demonstrates that my examples were too simple to show what I'm
trying to do. In my real code, several functions take the elements from an
iterator, so I can't pass the whole iterator to each one. I have a feeling there
is some bad factoring in my real code which will disappear if I manage to
provide a clear example, which I'll now endevour to do. Thanks for the reply.
