+/***
+    eeprom_iteration example.
+    
+    A set of example snippets highlighting the
+    simplest methods for traversing the EEPROM.
+    
+    Running this sketch is not necessary, this is 
+    simply highlighting certain programming methods.

+    
+    This version of the loop is best explained in the example 'eeprom_pointer'
+    as this kind of iteration uses pointers rather than an index/integer.
+    
+    !! Note: C++11 is not yet enabled by default in any IDE version.
+       Unless you manually enable it, this sketch will not compile.
+       You can comment the loop below to verify the non C++11 content.
