<a name="idm45853365385488"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<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>
