Interoperable Iterator Concept
..............................

A class or built-in type ``X`` that models Single Pass Iterator is
*interoperable with* a class or built-in type ``Y`` that also models
Single Pass Iterator if the following expressions are valid and
respect the stated semantics. In the tables below, ``x`` is an object
of type ``X``, ``y`` is an object of type ``Y``, ``Distance`` is
``iterator_traits<Y>::difference_type``, and ``n`` represents a
constant object of type ``Distance``.

|Expression |Return Type            |Assertion/Precondition/Postcondition               |
+===========+=======================+===================================================+
|``y = x``  |``Y``                  |post: ``y == x``                                   |
+-----------+-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
|``Y(x)``   |``Y``                  |post: ``Y(x) == x``                                |
+-----------+-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
|``x == y`` |convertible to ``bool``|``==`` is an equivalence relation over its domain. |
+-----------+-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
|``y == x`` |convertible to ``bool``|``==`` is an equivalence relation over its domain. |
+-----------+-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
|``x != y`` |convertible to ``bool``|``bool(a==b) != bool(a!=b)`` over its domain.      |
+-----------+-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
|``y != x`` |convertible to ``bool``|``bool(a==b) != bool(a!=b)`` over its domain.      |
+-----------+-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

If ``X`` and ``Y`` both model Random Access Traversal Iterator then
the following additional requirements must be met.
