Thanks for the explanation.
Would it not be worthwhile putting something like this in the
documentation? Perhaps in iterator_facade.html#tutorial-example where
the CategoryOrTraversal template parameter is explained and where the
explanation mentions 'iterator tranversal concepts' only. Indeed
clicking on the link of that name takes me to a point where the
tables again mention only traversal.
Back to reading the docs.
Kind regards,
Angus
