    non-seekable streams).
    See @ref overview_archive_noseek.

/**
    @class wxArchiveIterator

    An input iterator template class that can be used to transfer an archive's
    catalogue to a container. It is only available if wxUSE_STL is set to 1
    in setup.h, and the uses for it outlined below require a compiler which
    supports member templates.

    @code
    template<class Arc, class T = typename Arc::entry_type*>
    class wxArchiveIterator
    {
        // this constructor creates an 'end of sequence' object
        wxArchiveIterator();

        // template parameter 'Arc' should be the type of an archive input stream
        wxArchiveIterator(Arc& arc) {
            // ...
        }
    };
    @endcode

    The first template parameter should be the type of archive input stream
    (e.g. wxArchiveInputStream) and the second can either be a pointer to an entry
    (e.g. wxArchiveEntry*), or a string/pointer pair
    (e.g. std::pair<wxString,wxArchiveEntry*>).

    The @c wx/archive.h header defines the following typedefs:

    @code
    typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxArchiveInputStream> wxArchiveIter;

    typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxArchiveInputStream,
            std::pair<wxString, wxArchiveEntry*> > wxArchivePairIter;
    @endcode

    The header for any implementation of this interface should define similar
    typedefs for its types, for example in @c wx/zipstrm.h there is:

    @code
    typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream> wxZipIter;

    typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream,
             std::pair<wxString, wxZipEntry*> > wxZipPairIter;
    @endcode

    Transferring the catalogue of an archive @e arc to a vector @e cat,
    can then be done something like this:

    @code
        std::vector<wxArchiveEntry*> cat((wxArchiveIter)arc, wxArchiveIter());
    @endcode

    When the iterator is dereferenced, it gives away ownership of an entry
    object. So in the above example, when you have finished with @e cat
    you must delete the pointers it contains.

    If you have smart pointers with normal copy semantics (i.e. not auto_ptr
    or wxScopedPtr), then you can create an iterator  which uses them instead.

    For example, with a smart pointer class for zip entries @e ZipEntryPtr:

    @code
    typedef std::vector<ZipEntryPtr> ZipCatalog;
    typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream, ZipEntryPtr> ZipIter;
    ZipCatalog cat((ZipIter)zip, ZipIter());
    @endcode

    Iterators that return std::pair objects can be used to populate a std::multimap,
    to allow entries to be looked up by name.
    The string is initialised using the wxArchiveEntry object's
    wxArchiveEntry::GetInternalName function.

    @code
    typedef std::multimap<wxString, wxZipEntry*> ZipCatalog;
    ZipCatalog cat((wxZipPairIter)zip, wxZipPairIter());
    @endcode

    Note that this iterator also gives away ownership of an entry
    object each time it is dereferenced. So in the above example, when
    you have finished with @e cat you must delete the pointers it contains.

    Or if you have them, a pair containing a smart pointer can be used
    (again @e ZipEntryPtr), no worries about ownership:

    @code
    typedef std::multimap<wxString, ZipEntryPtr> ZipCatalog;
    typedef wxArchiveIterator<wxZipInputStream,
                std::pair<wxString, ZipEntryPtr> > ZipPairIter;
    ZipCatalog cat((ZipPairIter)zip, ZipPairIter());
