61     value). Using `indexed` is convenient and gives you better performance than
62     looping over the histogram cells with hand-written for loops. By default,
63     under- and overflow bins are skipped. Passing `coverage::all` as the
64     optional second argument iterates over all bins.

67     - Access the current index with `index(d)` method of the accessor.
68     - Access the corresponding bin interval view with `bin(d)`.
69 
70     The return type of `bin(d)` depends on the axis type (see the axis reference
71     for details). It usually is a class that represents a semi-open interval.
72     Edges can be accessed with methods `lower()` and `upper()`.
