2 Iterators are generic means of addressing a particular element or a range
3 of sequential elements in a sequence. They are also a mechanism that makes
4 it possible to decouple `algorithms`__ from concrete compile-time `sequence
5 implementations`__. Under the hood, all MPL sequence algorithms are
6 implemented in terms of iterators. In particular, that means that they
7 will work on any custom compile-time sequence, given that the appropriate
8 iterator interface is provided.
