- <p>A random access iterator is an iterator that can read through
- a sequence of values. It can move in either direction through the
- sequence (by any amount in constant time), and can be either mutable
- (data pointed to by it can be changed) or not mutable.</p>
- <p>An iterator represents a position in a sequence. Therefore,
- the iterator can point into the sequence (returning a value when
- dereferenced and being incrementable), or be off-the-end (and not
- dereferenceable or incrementable).</p>
