Bidirectional Sequence
======================
Description
-----------
A |Bidirectional Sequence| is a |Forward Sequence| whose iterators model
|Bidirectional Iterator|.
Refinement of
-------------
|Forward Sequence|
Expression requirements
-----------------------
In addition to the requirements defined in |Forward Sequence|,
for any |Bidirectional Sequence| ``s`` the following must be met:
+---------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
| Expression | Type | Complexity |
+===========================+===================================+===========================+
| ``begin<s>::type`` | |Bidirectional Iterator| | Amortized constant time |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
| ``end<s>::type`` | |Bidirectional Iterator| | Amortized constant time |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
| ``back<s>::type`` | Any type | Amortized constant time |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
Expression semantics
