[section:iterator_traits Iterator Traits]
`std::iterator_traits` provides access to five associated types
of any iterator: its `value_type`, `reference`, `pointer`,
`iterator_category`, and `difference_type`. Unfortunately,
such a "multi-valued" traits template can be difficult to use in a
metaprogramming context. `<boost/iterator/iterator_traits.hpp>`
provides access to these types using a standard metafunctions_.
