// 
// Functions:
// 
//   remove_copy - copy the elements of a sequence to another sequence
//                 eliminating any elements that match value.
//   begin - Returns an iterator that points to the first element in a
//           sequence.
//   end - Returns an iterator that points one past the end of a sequence.
