Interesting, Adobe stayed away from output ranges, too. Also interesting that the algos that take 2 input sequences (e.g., transform) take a range and an iterator instead of two ranges. That's another thorny issue. I went the other way, I think. Does Adobe has a design rational for these algos?
My rationale was that "if an algorithm doesn't need a range, you don't need to pass a range.". So, Oven went the same way as adobe. If you need bounds-checking, a range adaptor `checked` is useful. After all, you don't need to be worried about algorithms which will be obsolete. :-) -- Shunsuke Sogame
