namespace next_prior_detail {

// The trait attempts to detect if the T type is an iterator. Class-type iterators are assumed
// to have the nested type iterator_category. Strictly speaking, this is not required to be the
// case (e.g. a user can specialize iterator_traits for T without defining T::iterator_category).
// Still, this is a good heuristic in practice, and we can't do anything better anyway.
// Since C++17 we can test for iterator_traits<T>::iterator_category presence instead as it is
// required to be only present for iterators.
