.. _`iterator category`:
The ``iterator_category`` member of ``iterator_facade`` is
.. parsed-literal::
*iterator-category*\ (CategoryOrTraversal, reference, value_type)
where *iterator-category* is defined as follows:
.. include:: facade_iterator_category.rst
The ``enable_if_interoperable`` template used above is for exposition
purposes. The member operators should only be in an overload set
provided the derived types ``Dr1`` and ``Dr2`` are interoperable,
meaning that at least one of the types is convertible to the other. The
``enable_if_interoperable`` approach uses SFINAE to take the operators
out of the overload set when the types are not interoperable.
The operators should behave *as-if* ``enable_if_interoperable``
were defined to be::
template <bool, typename> enable_if_interoperable_impl
{};
template <typename T> enable_if_interoperable_impl<true,T>
{ typedef T type; };
template<typename Dr1, typename Dr2, typename T>
struct enable_if_interoperable
: enable_if_interoperable_impl<
is_convertible<Dr1,Dr2>::value || is_convertible<Dr2,Dr1>::value
, T
>
{};
``iterator_facade`` Requirements
--------------------------------
The following table describes the typical valid expressions on
``iterator_facade``\ 's ``Derived`` parameter, depending on the
iterator concept(s) it will model. The operations in the first
column must be made accessible to member functions of class
``iterator_core_access``. In addition,
``static_cast<Derived*>(iterator_facade*)`` shall be well-formed.
In the table below, ``F`` is ``iterator_facade<X,V,C,R,D>``, ``a`` is an
object of type ``X``, ``b`` and ``c`` are objects of type ``const X``,
``n`` is an object of ``F::difference_type``, ``y`` is a constant
object of a single pass iterator type interoperable with ``X``, and ``z``
is a constant object of a random access traversal iterator type
interoperable with ``X``.

``iterator_facade`` operations
------------------------------
The operations in this section are described in terms of operations on
the core interface of ``Derived`` which may be inaccessible
(i.e. private). The implementation should access these operations
through member functions of class ``iterator_core_access``.
``reference operator*() const;``
:Returns: ``static_cast<Derived const*>(this)->dereference()``
``operator->() const;`` (see below__)
__ `operator arrow`_
:Returns: If ``reference`` is a reference type, an object
of type ``pointer`` equal to::
&static_cast<Derived const*>(this)->dereference()
Otherwise returns an object of unspecified type such that,
``(*static_cast<Derived const*>(this))->m`` is equivalent to ``(w = **static_cast<Derived const*>(this),
w.m)`` for some temporary object ``w`` of type ``value_type``.
.. _brackets:
*unspecified* ``operator[](difference_type n) const;``
:Returns: an object convertible to ``value_type``. For constant
objects ``v`` of type ``value_type``, and ``n`` of type
``difference_type``, ``(*this)[n] = v`` is equivalent to
``*(*this + n) = v``, and ``static_cast<value_type
const&>((*this)[n])`` is equivalent to
``static_cast<value_type const&>(*(*this + n))``
