| Possible bug:
| If the header 'iterator' is included, the following will fail:
| 
| #include <string>
| #include <algorithm>
| #include <cctype>
| #include <iterator>
| 
| using namespace std;
| 
| int main(int argc, char *argv[])
| {
|     string a = "hello";
|     string b;
|     transform(a.begin(), a.end(), b.begin(), toupper);

As writte,, this is not a bug in the compiler; and it is a known issue
in the C++ community: the above construct is not required to work. 
The point being that std::toupper is an overloaded function and C++
has no type for the address of an overloaded function.  You ought to
disambiguate by hand.
