Re: [Boost-users] iterators must go

...

I'd love to see the finicky bits worked out, though, since I do like the idea.

Any place you really want a single iterator, a range of one value would work. For appending or streaming out, you really want the concept of an open-ended range.

I fail to see how the use of a Range in place of a Position would "work". It's an abuse of the abstraction. Maybe it's not so much different than using iterators for ranges. Please don't misunderstand. I like the direction that Andrei is going, but I don't believe that getting rid of iterators solves any problems. Both abstractions have their place. How does the D standard library deal with positional insertions in lists and/or vectors? Andrew Sutton andrew.n.sutton@gmail.com
