Hi Oli,

first of all: I think it is a good decision to remove the cast.

Maybe we should be a bit more precise with the announcement, though. The cast 
you removed is
   const Iterator & -> const EntityPointer &.
It is still possible to cast an Iterator into an EntityPointer, you just have 
to make a copy, now (static_cast). This reflects the view that an Iterator 
implements the concept of an entity pointer, but is not implemented as the 
EntityPointer.

Best,

Martin
