available when the header [<iterator>](iterator.synopsis#header:%3citerator%3e "24.2 Header <iterator>&nbsp;synopsis [iterator.synopsis]") is included[.](#general-1.sentence-1)

the temporary materialization conversion ([[conv.rval]](conv.rval "7.3.5 Temporary materialization conversion")) to E otherwise[.](#general-2.sentence-1)
