 Agreed, I'm going to take care of this, surveying the existing practice 
 of 3 or 4 implementations I have access too.

 Well, as I mentioned in the PR, decoupling the reverse_iterator case 
 from the "normal" iterator case seems difficult for the special 
 std::deque::iterator and const_iterator case (it isn't for 
 __normal_iterator, used by the other standard containers). Again, I will 
 do my best in the next weeks.
