The return value is `out_it + distance(source_rng)` [heading Definition] Defined in the header file `boost/range/algorithm/copy.hpp` [heading Requirements] * `SinglePassRange` is a model of the __single_pass_range__ Concept. * `OutputIterator` is a model of the `OutputIteratorConcept`. * The `value_type` of __single_pass_range__ Concept is convertible to a type in `OutputIterator`'s set of value types. [heading Precondition:] * `out_it` is not an iterator within the `source_rng`. * `[out_it, out_it + distance(source_rng))` is a valid range. [heading Complexity] Linear. Exactly `distance(source_rng)` assignments are performed. [endsect]
