+
+:abstract:  The iterator concept checking classes provide a mechanism for
+  a template to report better error messages when a user instantiates
+  the template with a type that does not meet the requirements of
+  the template.
+
+
+For an introduction to using concept checking classes, see
+the documentation for the |concepts|_ library.
