 // Revision History:
 
+// 10 Feb 2001   David Abrahams
+//      Rolled in supposed Borland fixes from John Maddock, but not seeing any
+//      improvement yet
+//
+//      Changed argument order to indirect_ generator, for convenience in the
+//      case of input iterators (where Reference must be a value type).
+//
+//      Removed derivation of filter_iterator_policies from
+//      default_iterator_policies, since the iterator category is likely to be
+//      reduced (we don't want to allow illegal operations like decrement).
+//
+//      Support for a simpler filter iterator interface.
+//
 // 09 Feb 2001   David Abrahams
 //      Improved interface to indirect_ and reverse_ iterators
