#### advance

###### Description

Moves an iterator a specified distance.

###### Synopsis

    template<
        typename I,
        typename M
        >
    struct advance
    {
        typedef unspecified type;
    };

Table 1.18. Parameters

Parameter | Requirement | Description
--- | --- | ---
`I` | Model of Forward Iterator | Iterator to move relative to
`M` | Model of MPL Integral Constant | Number of positions to move

###### Expression Semantics

    result_of::advance<I,M>::type

Return type: A model of the same iterator concept as `I`.

Semantics: Returns an iterator a distance `M` from `I`. If `I` is a Bidirectional Iterator then `M` may be negative.

###### Header

    #include <boost/fusion/iterator/advance.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/advance.hpp>

###### Example

    typedef vector<int,double,char> vec;
    typedef result_of::begin<vec>::type first;
    typedef result_of::next<first>::type second;
    typedef result_of::next<second>::type third;

    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT((result_of::equal_to<result_of::advance<first, boost::mpl::int_<2> >::type, third>));
