<a name="idp615178544"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>An input iterator is an iterator that can read through a sequence of
  values.  It is single-pass (old values of the iterator cannot be
  re-used), and read-only.</p>
<p>An input iterator represents a position in a sequence.  Therefore, the
  iterator can point into the sequence (returning a value when dereferenced
  and being incrementable), or be off-the-end (and not dereferenceable or
  incrementable).</p>
