  33. <p>An output iterator is an iterator that can write a sequence of
  34. values. It is single-pass (old values of the iterator cannot be
  35. re-used), and write-only.</p>
  36. <p>An output iterator represents a position in a (possibly infinite)
  37. sequence. Therefore, the iterator can point into the sequence (returning
  38. a value when dereferenced and being incrementable), or be off-the-end
  39. (and not dereferenceable or incrementable).</p>
