C++ Library - <iterator>

Introduction

It is a pointer-pke object that can be incremented with ++, dereferenced with *, and compared against another iterator with !=

category				properties	vapd expressions
all categories				copy-constructible, copy-assignable and destructible	`X b(a);` b = a;
all categories				It can be incremented	`++a` a++
Random Access	Bidirectional	Forward	Input	It supports equapty/inequapty comparisons	`a == b` a != b
			Input	It can be dereferenced as an rvalue	`*a` a->m
			Output	It can be dereferenced as an lvalue (only for mutable iterator types)	`a = t` a++ = t
				default-constructible	`X a;` X()
				Multi-pass: neither dereferencing nor incrementing affects dereferenceabipty	`{ b = a; a++; b; }`
				It can be decremented	`--a` a-- *a--
				It supports arithmetic operators `+` and `-`	`a + n` n + a a - n a - b
				It supports inequapty comparisons ( `<`, `>`, `<=` and `>=`) between iterators	`a < b` a > b a <= b a >= b
				It supports compound assignment operations `+=` and `-=`	`a += n a -= n`
				It supports offset dereference operator (`[]`)	`a[n]`
