<p>The counting iterator adaptor implements dereference by returning a
reference to the base object. The other operations are implemented by
the base <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">m_iterator</span></tt>, as per the inheritance from
<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt>.</p>

<p>The <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Incrementable</span></tt> type must be Default Constructible, Copy
Constructible, and Assignable. The default distance is
an implementation defined signed integegral type.</p>
<p>The resulting <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">counting_iterator</span></tt> models Readable Lvalue Iterator.</p>
<p>Furthermore, if you wish to create a counting iterator that is a Forward
Traversal Iterator, then the following expressions must be valid:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
Incrementable i, j;
++i // pre-increment
i == j // operator equal
</pre>
<p>If you wish to create a counting iterator that is a
Bidirectional Traversal Iterator, then pre-decrement is also required:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
--i
</pre>
<p>If you wish to create a counting iterator that is a Random Access
Traversal Iterator, then these additional expressions are also
required:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
counting_iterator::difference_type n;
i += n
n = i - j
i &lt; j
