Re: [boost] [range] Proposal to add make_view

Hi,

I propose to add a simple helper function to create an iterator range of boost::transform_iterators. This would effectively create a view over a different range or a container.

Currently this is possible to do with considerable code duplication:

make_iterator_range( make_transform_iterator(vec.begin(), fun), make_transform_iterator(vec.end(), fun));

Here "fun" could be a rather complex lambda or bind expression. What I propose is to wrap these calls into a simple generator make_view. The above code would look much better:

make_view(vec.begin(), vec.end(), fun);

or

make_view(vec, fun);

I've attached a sample implementation of the make_view function. Do you think this could be useful?

I want this utility on a regular basis. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
