 * This file provides some example of type_traits usage -
 * by "optimising" various algorithms:
 *
 * opt::iter_swap - uses type_traits to determine whether the iterator is a proxy
 *                  in which case it uses a "safe" approach, otherwise calls swap
 *                  on the assumption that swap may be specialised for the pointed-to type.
