I vote for the name "Iterator" (or "Iterator_Type" :), basically
because of the C++ STL usage.

I'd like to see an implementation of the safe iterator, so I can judge
how much overhead I'm signing up for. From the discussion I've seen so
far, it doesn't sound bad, so I'm provisionally voting for safe
iterators.
