If we decided changing iter_swap was too serious an undertaking at this 
point, then according to the standard, should we be using swap() or 
iter_swap() in our implementation of reverse/sort/etc.etc.? I read it as 
swap personally. If we changed iter_swap it would make no difference as 
iter_swap would just call swap. If not, then it might be necessary to 
remove mentions of std::iter_swap(a,b) for swap(*a,*b) so we meet 
requirements?
