I originally wanted to give the transform_iterator creator function the name transform(), which the standard library already uses for its transforming algorithm overloads. Having these two different facilities share the same name should work because they’re in separate namespaces. Further, even when both are brought into the same namespace via a using-declaration, there’s no clash because the standard algorithm overloads have four and five parameters, and the transform_iterator creator function has only two.
