doc: trigraph is removed in C++17 #58

Description

@e-kwsm

<div>
All that we need now to perform a simple file iteration is to invoke the
mechanism:
</div>
<div class="code">
<pre>
??=include BOOST_PP_ITERATE()
</pre>
</div>
<div>
(The <code>??=</code> token is a trigraph for <code>#</code>.&nbsp; I use the
trigraph to make it clear that I am <i>including</i> a file rather than
defining or expanding a macro, but it is not necessary.&nbsp; Even the digraph
version, <code>%:</code>, could be used.&nbsp; Some compilers do not readily
accept trigraphs and digraphs, so keep that in mind.&nbsp; Other than that, use
whichever one you prefer.)
</div>

<div>
Once these two macros are defined, the local iteration is initiated by <i>including</i> <b>BOOST_PP_LOCAL_ITERATE</b>().
</div>
<div class="code"><pre>
??=include BOOST_PP_LOCAL_ITERATE()
</pre></div>
<div>
