Decrement the specified `iterator` to refer to the previous location in the referenced array, and return an iterator referring to the original location (_before_ the decrementation). The returned iterator, `it`, referencing a `CompactedArray` `array`, remains valid as long as `0 <= it ‐ array.begin() <= array.length()`. The behavior is undefined unless, on entry, `CompactedArray_ConstIterator() != iterator` and `0 < iterator ‐ array.begin()`.
