:mrdocs:

Decrement this iterator by the specified `offset` from the location referenced by this iterator, and return a reference providing modifiable access to this iterator. The returned iterator, `it`, referencing a `CompactedArray` `array`, remains valid as long as `0 <= it ‐ array.begin() <= array.length()`. The behavior is undefined unless `CompactedArray_ConstIterator() != *this` and `0 <= *this ‐ array.begin() ‐ offset <= array.length()`.
