I guess maybe it was supposed to be gone, but in that case there may have been
an issue with Walter's release-packaging script because it *is* there in both
"dmd.2.051.zip" and "dmd.2.052.zip".

Ie, if you grab these:

http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.051.zip
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.052.zip

Inside both of those is "/src/phobos/std/iterator.d" (and it's not an empty
file).

Even though I've been using 2.052 for over a month, I had some code that was
using the "ElementType" from std.iterator and I didn't even realize it until I
tried the 2.053 beta which finally did get rid of std.iterator.

So it may be good to at least make mention of this in the changelog. Maybe also
a note to "Use either std.range.ElementType or std.range.ElementEncodingType
depending on what you're trying to do."
