The following comments about random_access_iterator from the stl_iterator
documentatino on my Debian system (libstdc++2.10-dev) might help clear up
the confusion:

   Defined in the standard header iterator, and in the nonstandard
   backward-compatibility header iterator.h. This class is no longer part
   of the C++ standard, although it was present in early drafts of the
   standard. It is retained in this implementation for backward
   compatibility.
