If ``++x`` is ill-formed it shall neither be ambiguous nor shall it violate access control, and ``pointee::type&`` shall be well-formed. Otherwise ``iterator_traits::reference`` shall be well formed. [Note: These requirements need not apply to explicit or partial specializations of ``indirect_reference``] ``type`` is determined according to the following algorithm, where ``x`` is an object of type ``Dereferenceable``:: if ( ++x is ill-formed ) return ``pointee::type&`` else std::iterator_traits::reference
