### Sequence Facade

##### Description

The `sequence_facade` template provides an intrusive mechanism for producing a conforming Fusion sequence.

##### Synopsis

    template<typename Derived, typename TravesalTag, typename IsView = mpl::false_>
    struct sequence_facade;

##### Usage

The user of `sequence_facade` derives his sequence type from a specialization of `sequence_facade` and passes the derived sequence type as the first template parameter. The second template parameter should be the traversal category of the sequence being implemented. The 3rd parameter should be set to `mpl::true_` if the sequence is a view.

The user must the implement the key expressions required by their sequence type.

Table 1.102. Parameters

Name | Description
--- | ---
`sequence`, `Seq` | A type derived from `sequence_facade`
`N` | An MPL Integral Constant

Table 1.103. Key Expressions

Expression | Result
--- | ---
`sequence::template begin<Seq>::type` | The type of an iterator to the beginning of a sequence of type `Seq`
`sequence::template begin<Seq>::call(seq)` | An iterator to the beginning of sequence `seq`
`sequence::template end<Seq>::type` | The type of an iterator to the end of a sequence of type `Seq`
`sequence::template end<Seq>::call(seq)` | An iterator to the end of sequence `seq`
`sequence::template size<Seq>::type` | The size of a sequence of type `Seq` as an MPL Integral Constant
`sequence::template size<Seq>::call(seq)` | The size of sequence `seq`
`sequence::template empty<Seq>::type` | Returns `mpl::true_` if `Seq` has zero elements, `mpl::false_` otherwise.
`sequence::template empty<Seq>::call` | Returns a type convertible to `bool` that evaluates to true if the sequence is empty, else, evaluates to false.
`sequence::template at<Seq, N>::type` | The type of element `N` in a sequence of type `Seq`
`sequence::template at<Seq, N>::call(seq)` | Element `N` in sequence `seq`
`sequence::template value_at<Sequence, N>::type` | The type of the `N`th element in a sequence of type `Seq`
