Ok, I was surprised that with my post-c++11 removals the abi checks were 
fine.

But it turns out that the problem is not coming from it but instead from 
the add of the std::_RequireInputIte constraint.

Now I understand why it had never been done. Let's forget about all this 
then.

Thanks for your patience,
