    /** The 'eof_iterator' class is useful for constructing forward iterators 
        in cases where iterator extract data from some source and it's easy 
        to detect 'eof' -- i.e. the situation where there's no data. One 
        apparent example is reading lines from a file.
        
        Implementing such iterators using 'iterator_facade' directly would
        require to create class with three core operation, a couple of 
        constructors. When using 'eof_iterator', the derived class should define 
        only one method to get new value, plus a couple of constructors.

        The basic idea is that iterator has 'eof' bit. Two iterators are equal 
        only if both have their 'eof' bits set. The 'get' method either obtains
        the new value or sets the 'eof' bit.

        Specifically, derived class should define:

        1. A default constructor, which creates iterator with 'eof' bit set. The
        constructor body should call 'found_eof' method defined here.
        2. Some other constructor. It should initialize some 'data pointer' used
        in iterator operation and then call 'get'.
        3. The 'get' method. It should operate this way:
            - look at some 'data pointer' to see if new element is available;
              if not, it should call 'found_eof'.
            - extract new element and store it at location returned by the 'value' 
               method.
            - advance the data pointer.

        Essentially, the 'get' method has the functionality of both 'increment' 
        and 'dereference'. It's very good for the cases where data extraction 
        implicitly moves data pointer, like for stream operation.
