The taxonomy of sequence concepts in MPL parallels the taxonomy of the MPL
|iterators|, with two additional classification dimensions:
`extensibility` and `associativeness`.
.. The latter two are orthogonal to
sequence traversal characteristics, but not to each other, meaning that
a sequence can be characterized as both `Bidirectional`__
and `Back Extensible`__, or `Bidirectional`__ and
`Extensible Associative`__, but not as `Bidirectional`__,
`Back Extensible`__ *and* `Extensible Associative`__.
__ `Bidirectional Sequence`_
__ `Back Extensible Sequence`_
__ `Bidirectional Sequence`_
__ `Extensible Associative Sequence`_
__ `Bidirectional Sequence`_
__ `Back Extensible Sequence`_
__ `Extensible Associative Sequence`_
Two utility concepts, |Variadic Sequence| and |Integral Sequence Wrapper|,
are not applicable in generic contexts, but are used to group together
the common parts of different sequence classes' specifications.
