That doesn't get you any element as such. However, it leaves pos as an iterator that points to the second element. Begin() points to the first element.

Well, it's second in normal-person counting, but first in programmer-counting (it's common to hear experienced programmers talk about the "zeroth element" of an array for example) :)
