What does llvm::next do that std::next (or boost::next) do not do?  If
they do the same thing, why not just conditional create llvm::next, if
std::next is available then just include it into the llvm namespace so
it can be used as they currently are.  If they are not compatible, why
not fix the iterators to follow the std standards?
