[section Sequence]
Like __mpl__, the Sequence is a fundamental concept in Fusion. A Sequence
may or may not actually store or contain data. __containers__ are sequences
that hold data. __views__, on the other hand, are sequences that do not
store any data. Instead, they are proxies that impart an alternative
presentation over another sequence. All models of Sequence have an
associated __iterator__ type that can be used to iterate through the
Sequence's elements.
[heading Header]
#include <boost/fusion/sequence.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/sequence.hpp>
[section Concepts]
Fusion Sequences are organized into a hierarchy of concepts.
[heading Traversal]
Fusion's sequence traversal related concepts parallel Fusion's
__iterator_concepts__. __forward_sequence__ is the most basic concept.
__bidirectional_sequence__ is a refinement of __forward_sequence__.
__random_access_sequence__ is a refinement of __bidirectional_sequence__.
These concepts pertain to sequence traversal.
[heading Associativity]
The __associative_sequence__ concept is orthogonal to traversal. An Associative
Sequence allows efficient retrieval of elements based on keys.
[section Forward Sequence]
[heading Description]
A Forward Sequence is a Sequence whose elements are arranged in a definite
order. The ordering is guaranteed not to change from iteration to
iteration. The requirement of a definite ordering allows the definition of
element-by-element equality (if the container's element type is Equality
Comparable) and of lexicographical ordering (if the container's element
type is LessThan Comparable).
[variablelist Notation
[[`s`] [A Forward Sequence]]
[[`S`] [A Forward Sequence type]]
[[`o`] [An arbitrary object]]
[[`e`] [A Sequence element]]

[heading Valid Expressions]
For any Forward Sequence the following expressions must be valid:
[table
[[Expression] [Return type] [Type Requirements] [Runtime Complexity]]
[[`__begin__(s)`] [__forward_iterator__] [] [Constant]]
[[`__end__(s)`] [__forward_iterator__] [] [Constant]]

[heading Invariants]
For any Forward Sequence s the following invariants always hold:
* `[__begin__(s), __end__(s))` is always a valid range.
* An __algorithm__ that iterates through the range `[__begin__(s), __end__(s))`
will pass through every element of `s` exactly once.
* `__begin__(s)` is identical to `__end__(s))` if and only if `s` is empty.
* Two different iterations through `s` will access its elements in
the same order.

may actually be a reference to begin with. For this purpose, you can use
`__result_of_value_at__<S, N>`.]

[section Associative Sequence]
[heading Description]
An Associative Sequence allows efficient retrieval of elements based on keys.
Like associative sequences in __mpl__, and unlike associative containers in
__stl__, Fusion associative sequences have no implied ordering relation.
Instead, type identity is used to impose an equivalence relation on keys.

[[`K`] [An arbitrary /key/ type]]
[[`o`] [An arbitrary object]]

For any Associative Sequence the following expressions must be valid:

[blurb __note__ `__result_of_at_key__<S, K>` returns the actual type returned
by `__at_key__<K>(s)`. In most cases, this is a reference. Hence, there is no

[section Intrinsic]
Intrinsic form the essential interface of every Fusion __sequence__. __stl__
counterparts of these functions are usually implemented as member
functions. Intrinsic functions, unlike __algorithms__, are not generic
across the full __sequence__ repertoire. They need to be implemented for
each Fusion __sequence__[footnote In practice, many of intrinsic functions
have default implementations that will work in majority of cases].

[section Operator]
These operators, like the __algorithms__, work generically on all Fusion
sequences. All conforming Fusion sequences automatically get these
operators for free.
[section I/O]
The I/O operators: `<<` and `>>` work generically on all Fusion sequences.
The global `operator<<` has been overloaded for generic output streams such
that __sequence__(s) are output by recursively calling `operator<<` for each
element. Analogously, the global `operator>>` has been overloaded to
extract __sequence__(s) from generic input streams by recursively calling
`operator>>` for each element.
The default delimiter between the elements is space, and the __sequence__
is enclosed in parenthesis. For Example:
__vector__<float, int, std::string> a(1.0f, 2, std::string("Howdy folks!");
cout << a;
outputs the __vector__ as: (1.0 2 Howdy folks!)
The library defines three manipulators for changing the default behavior:
[variablelist Manipulators
[[`tuple_open(arg)`] [Defines the character that is output before the first element.]]
[[`tuple_close(arg)`] [Defines the character that is output after the last element.]]
[[`tuple_delimiter(arg)`] [Defines the delimiter character between elements.]]
]
The argument to `tuple_open`, `tuple_close` and `tuple_delimiter` may be a
`char`, `wchar_t`, a C-string, or a wide C-string.
Example:
std::cout << tuple_open('[') << tuple_close(']') << tuple_delimiter(", ") << a;
outputs the same __vector__, `a` as: [1.0, 2, Howdy folks!]
The same manipulators work with `operator>>` and `istream` as well. Suppose
the `std::cin` stream contains the following data:
(1 2 3) [4:5]
The code:
__vector__<int, int, int> i;
__vector__<int, int> j;
std::cin >> i;
std::cin >> set_open('[') >> set_close(']') >> set_delimiter(':');
std::cin >> j;
reads the data into the __vector__(s) `i` and `j`.
Note that extracting __sequence__(s) with `std::string` or C-style string
elements does not generally work, since the streamed __sequence__
representation may not be unambiguously parseable.
