ah, my fault.
Try this:
     typename C::value_type & operator *() const
     {
         return theVector->items[pos];
     }
     typename C::value_type * operator -> () const
     {
         return &theVector->items[pos];
     }

// typename C::value_type & operator *() const;
// typename C::value_type * operator -> () const;
     ssize_t operator - (VectorIteratorBase const &rhs) const;
     bool incrementable() const;
   private:
     size_t pos;
     C * theVector;
};

Lol, yes. The key difference IMO is that the worse technology was
cheaper, whereas ... :}.
