Jonathan,
Hi Neil,
Hello! I agree that the current implementation of size() sucks. I think the standard library design is a bit pants too. I intend to make providing implementations of size via ADL extension points. Once this has been done I'll make the boost::size algorithm work via this extension point and deprecate the iterator_range::size() member function.
I inherited this mistake IIRC.
I'm happy to sort it out. Just give me some time. I'm busy crushing Getco ;-)
No rush, I know game-changing comes first ;-) I've already got a workaround in place, so created the ticket as a "I think this would be better" not "I need this right now!"
