45 The function output iterator adaptor makes it easier to create custom
46 output iterators. The adaptor takes a unary function and creates a
47 model of Output Iterator. Each item assigned to the output iterator is
48 passed as an argument to the unary function. The motivation for this
49 iterator is that creating a conforming output iterator is non-trivial,
50 particularly because the proper implementation usually requires a
51 proxy object.</td>
