<p>
The customization point <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">compare_iterators</span></code>
needs to be implemented for a specific iterator type whenever the container
this iterator belongs to is to be used as an attribute in place of a
STL container. It is applicable for generators (<span class="emphasis"><em>Spirit.Karma</em></span>)
only. As a rule of thumb: it has to be implemented whenever a certain
iterator type belongs to a container which is to be passed as an attribute
to a generator normally exposing a STL container, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">C</span></code>
and if the container type does not expose the interface of a STL container
(i.e. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">is_container</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">C</span><span class="special">&gt;::</span><span class="identifier">type</span></code> would normally return <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">mpl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">false_</span></code>).
