/**
* Support decrementing and multi-passing, but not declared bidirectional(or even forward) because
* it's reference type is not a reference.
*
* It doesn't return reference because
* 1. Anyway it'll not satisfy requirement [forward.iterators]/6
*   If a and b are both dereferenceable, then a == b if and only if *a and
*   b are bound to the same object.
* 2. It'll not work with reverse_iterator that returns operator * of temporary which is temporary for this iterator
*
* Note, reverse_iterator is not guaranteed to work  now too since it works only with bidirectional iterators,
* but it's seems to work at least on my implementation.
*
* It's not really useful anywhere except iterating anyway.
