///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
//  File Iterator structure
//
//  The new structure is designed on layers. The top class (used by the user)
//  is file_iterator, which implements a full random access iterator through
//  the file, and some specific member functions (constructor that opens
//  the file, make_end() to generate the end iterator, operator bool to check
//  if the file was opened correctly).
//
//  file_iterator implements the random access iterator interface by the means
//  of boost::iterator_adaptor, that is inhering an object created with it.
//  iterator_adaptor gets a low-level file iterator implementation (with just
//  a few member functions) and a policy (that basically describes to it how
//  the low-level file iterator interface is). The advantage is that
//  with boost::iterator_adaptor only 5 functions are needed to implement
//  a fully conformant random access iterator, instead of dozens of functions
//  and operators.
//
//  There are two low-level file iterators implemented in this module. The
//  first (std_file_iterator) uses cstdio stream functions (fopen/fread), which
//  support full buffering, and is available everywhere (it's standard C++).
//  The second (mmap_file_iterator) is currently available only on Windows
//  platforms, and uses memory mapped files, which gives a decent speed boost.
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
//  TODO LIST:
//
//  - In the Win32 mmap iterator, we could check if keeping a handle to the
//    opened file is really required. If it's not, we can just store the file
//    length (for make_end()) and save performance. Notice that this should be
//    tested under different Windows versions, the behaviour might change.
//  - Add some error support (by the means of some exceptions) in case of
//    low-level I/O failure.
