23.5.3.9 Class template move_­sentinel [move.sentinel]

#
Class template move_­sentinel is a sentinel adaptor useful for denoting ranges together with move_­iterator.
When an input iterator type I and sentinel type S model sentinel_­for<S, I>, move_­sentinel<S> and move_­iterator<I> model sentinel_­for<move_­sentinel<S>, move_­iterator<I>> as well.

[ Example
:
A move_­if algorithm is easily implemented with copy_­if using move_­iterator and move_­sentinel:
template<input_iterator I, sentinel_for<I> S, weakly_incrementable O,
         indirect_unary_predicate<I> Pred>
  requires indirectly_movable<I, O>
void move_if(I first, S last, O out, Pred pred) {
  std::ranges::copy_if(move_iterator<I>{first}, move_sentinel<S>{last}, out, pred);
}
