[section View]

Views are sequences that do not actually contain data, but instead impart
an alternative presentation over the data from one or more underlying
sequences. Views are proxies. They provide an efficient yet purely
functional way to work on potentially expensive sequence operations. Views
are inherently lazy. Their elements are only computed on demand only when
the elements of the underlying sequence(s) are actually accessed. Views'
lazy nature make them very cheap to copy and be passed around by value.

`repetitive_view` presents a view which iterates over a given

printing a `repetitive_view` to `std::cout` is not.

[heading Expression Semantics]

Semantics of an expression is defined only where it differs from, or is not
defined in __forward_sequence__.

[table
    [[Expression]           [Semantics]]
    [[`F(s)`]              	[Creates a `flatten_view` given sequence, `s`.]]
    [[`F(f)`]             	[Copy constructs a `flatten_view` from another `flatten_view`, `f`.]]
    [[`f = f2`]           	[Assigns to a `flatten_view`, `f`, from another `flatten_view`, `f2`.]]
]

[heading Example]
    typedef __vector__<int, int, __vector__<int, int>, int> sequence_type;
    sequence_type seq;
    __flatten_view__<sequence_type> flattened(seq);
    __copy__(__make_vector__(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), flattened);

[section identity_view]

[heading Description]

`identity_view` presents underlying sequence unchanged.

[heading Header]

[heading Synopsis]

    template <typename Sequence>
    struct identity_view;

[heading Template parameters]

[table
    [[Parameter]            [Description]                   [Default]]
    [[`Sequence`]           [A __forward_sequence__]        []]

[heading Model of]

* A model of __forward_sequence__ if `Sequence` is a __forward_sequence__ else, __bidirectional_sequence__ if `Sequence` is a __bidirectional_sequence__
else, __random_access_sequence__ if `Sequence` is a __random_access_sequence__.
* __associative_sequence__ if `Sequence` implements the __associative_sequence__ model.

[variablelist Notation
    [[`IV`]             [An `identity_view` type]]
    [[`s`]              [An instance of `Sequence`]]
    [[`iv`, `iv2`]      [Instances of `identity_view`]]

[heading Expression Semantics]

Semantics of an expression is defined only where it differs from, or is not
defined in the implemented models.

[table
    [[Expression]           [Semantics]]
    [[`IV(s)`]              [Creates an `identity_view` given sequence, `s`.]]
    [[`IV(iv)`]             [Copy constructs an `identity_view` from another `identity_view`, `iv`.]]
    [[`iv = iv2`]           [Assigns to an `identity_view`, `iv`, from another `identity_view`, `iv2`.]]
]

[heading Example]
    typedef __vector__<int, short, double> vector_type;
    vector_type vec(2, 5, 3.3);

    __identity_view__<vector_type> identity(vec);
    std::cout << identity << std::endl; // (2 5 3.3)
