+Function Input Iterator
+=======================
+
+The Function Input Iterator allows for creating iterators that encapsulate
+a nullary function object and a state object which tracks the number of times
+the iterator has been incremented. A Function Input Iterator models the
+`InputIterator`_ concept and is useful for creating bounded input iterators.
+
+.. _InputIterator: http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/InputIterator.html
+
+Like the Generator Iterator, the Function Input Iterator takes a function
+that models the Generator_ concept (which is basically a nullary or 0-arity
+function object). Each increment of the function Function Input Iterator
+invokes the generator function and stores the value in the iterator. When
+the iterator is dereferenced the stored value is returned.
+
+.. _Generator: http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Generator.html
+
+The Function Input Iterator encapsulates a state object which models the
+`Incrementable Concept`_ and the EqualityComparable_ Concept. These concepts are
+described below as:
+
+.. _EqualityComparable: http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/EqualityComparable.html
+
+Incrementable Concept
+---------------------
+
+A type models the Incrementable Concept when it supports the pre- and post-
+increment operators. For a given object ``i`` with type ``I``, the following
+constructs should be valid:
+
+========= ================= ===========
+Construct Description Return Type
+-----------------------------------------
+i++ Post-increment i. I
+++i Pre-increment i. I&
+========= ================= ===========
+
+NOTE: An Incrementable type should also be DefaultConstructible_.
+
+.. _DefaultConstructible: http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/DefaultConstructible.html
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+ namespace {
+ template <class Function, class State>
+ class function_input_iterator;
+
+ template <class Function, class State>
+ typename function_input_iterator<Function, State>
+ make_function_input_iterator(Function & f);
+
+ struct infinite;
+ }
+
+Function Input Iterator Class
+-----------------------------
+
+The class Function Input Iterator class takes two template parameters
+``Function`` and ``State``. These two template parameters tell the
+Function Input Iterator the type of the function to encapsulate and
+the type of the internal state value to hold.
+
+The ``State`` parameter is important in cases where you want to
+control the type of the counter which determines whether two iterators
+are at the same state. This allows for creating a pair of iterators which
+bound the range of the invocations of the encapsulated functions.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+The following example shows how we use the function input iterator class
+in cases where we want to create bounded (lazy) generated ranges.
+
+::
+
+ struct generator {
+ typedef int result_type;
+ generator() { srand(time(0)); }
+ result_type operator() () const {
+ return rand();
+ }
+ };
+
+ int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
+ generator f;
+ copy(
+ make_function_input_iterator(f, 0),
+ make_function_input_iterator(f, 10),
+ ostream_iterator<int>(cout, " ")
+ );
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+Here we can see that we've bounded the number of invocations using an ``int``
+that counts from ``0`` to ``10``. Say we want to create an endless stream
+of random numbers and encapsulate that in a pair of integers, we can do
+it with the ``boost::infinite`` helper class.
+
+::
+
+ copy(
+ make_function_input_iterator(f,infinite()),
+ make_function_input_iterator(f,infinite()),
+ ostream_iterator<int>(count, " ")
+ );
+
+Above, instead of creating a huge vector we rely on the STL copy algorithm
+to traverse the function input iterator and call the function object f
+as it increments the iterator. The special property of ``boost::infinite``
+is that equating two instances always yield false -- and that incrementing
+an instance of ``boost::infinite`` doesn't do anything. This is an efficient
+way of stating that the iterator range provided by two iterators with an
+encapsulated infinite state will definitely be infinite.
