be a decent candidate for the iterators. It would take some serious
refactoring, but it's essentially four locations in the scalar array moving
sequentially through the data simultaneously -- something that could be
modeled with iterators fairly easily.

I agree, some more "real life" examples would be useful, right now it's
just a matter of finding the cycles to undertake something like this =)
