@Carsten: I do not see any need to remove EntityPointer as a base class for EntityIterator. The reasons are as follows:

(a) An iterator still fully implements the interface of an entity pointer, i.e., we would have to duplicate it
(b) Iterators don't cast into EntityPointer anymore
(c) We could not deprecate the cast but would have to remove it
(d) There is the pending discussion of removing the entity pointer alltogether, so it would only be an intermediate change
(e) It might mean changing a lot of code
