C++: Greatest Subsequential Sum

#include <utility>   // for std::pair
#include <iterator>  // for std::iterator_traits

#include <algorithm> // for std::copy

// Function template max_subseq
//
// Given a sequence of integers, find a subsequence which maximizes
// the sum of its elements, that is, the elements of no other single
// subsequence add up to a value larger than this one.
//
// Requirements:
// * ForwardIterator is a forward iterator
// * ForwardIterator's value_type is less-than comparable and addable
// * default-construction of value_type gives the neutral element
//   (zero)
// * operator+ and operator< are compatible (i.e. if a>zero and
//   b>zero, then a+b>zero, and if a<zero and b<zero, then a+b<zero)
// * [begin,end) is a valid range
//
// Returns:
//   a pair of iterators describing the begin and end of the
//   subsequence
