<h3>Notes</h3>
<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
Note the difference between assignment through a
<tt><A href="BackInsertionSequence.html">BackInsertionSequence</A>::iterator</tt> and assignment through a
<tt>back_insert_iterator<<A href="BackInsertionSequence.html">BackInsertionSequence</A>></tt>. If <tt>i</tt> is a valid
<tt><A href="BackInsertionSequence.html">BackInsertionSequence</A>::iterator</tt>, then it points to some particular
element in the <A href="BackInsertionSequence.html">back insertion sequence</A>; the expression <tt>*i = t</tt>
replaces that element with <tt>t</tt>, and does not change the total number
of elements in the <A href="BackInsertionSequence.html">back insertion sequence</A>. If <tt>ii</tt> is a valid
<tt>back_insert_iterator<<A href="BackInsertionSequence.html">BackInsertionSequence</A>></tt>, however, then
the expression <tt>*ii = t</tt> is equivalent, to the
expression <tt>seq.push_back(t)</tt>. That is, it does not overwrite
any of <tt>seq</tt>'s elements and it does change <tt>seq</tt>'s size.
<P><A name="2">[2]</A>
Note how assignment through a <tt>back_insert_iterator</tt> is implemented.
In general, unary <tt>operator*</tt> must be defined so that it returns a
proxy object, where the proxy object defines <tt>operator=</tt> to perform
the insert operation. In this case, for the sake of simplicity, the
proxy object is the <tt>back_insert_iterator</tt> itself. That is, <tt>*i</tt> simply
returns <tt>i</tt>, and <tt>*i = t</tt> is equivalent to <tt>i = t</tt>. You should not,
however, rely on this behavior. It is an implementation detail,
and it is not guaranteed to remain the same in future versions.
<P><A name="3">[3]</A>
This function exists solely for the sake of convenience:
since it is a non-member function, the template parameters may be
inferred and the type of the <tt>back_insert_iterator</tt> need not be declared
explicitly. One easy way to reverse a range and insert it
at the end of a <A href="BackInsertionSequence.html">Back Insertion Sequence</A> <tt>S</tt>, for example, is
<tt><A href="reverse_copy.html">reverse_copy</A>(first, last, back_inserter(S))</tt>.
