/** @file try.cpp
* Compiling a seemingly valid iterator pipeline failed, due to type deduction problems.
* As expected, they originate within PtrDerefIter, which I abused here to dereference
* an unique_ptr -- which might seem strange, yet is true to the spirit of generic programming.
* Since I consider this a valid usage, the fix is to add a further specialisation to my
* hand-written RemovePtr trait template in iter-adapter-ptr-deref.hpp (which also justifies
* in hindsight to use a hand-written trait right within this header, instead of some library).
