Hmm, the operators in testsuite_template_abuse.h aren't meant to be
for iterators though, are they?
If I understand the problem, it's that greedy operators intended for
other types interfere and get applied to iterators - so calling them
iterators_ops is misleading.

How about <testsuite_greedy_ops.h> ?

Also, namespace N and struct X in that header could be named better -
short names are ok in a .cc test but a header included from many files
has more chance of name collisions.  I would suggest maybe namespace
ops, greedy or greedy_ops.  If the namespace changes then I think X is
probably OK.

Thanks for fixing this problem, François.
