Sorry pressed "send too quickly"...
Why have you provided
basic_string_token_iterator
and
range_token_iterator
?
I don't really have time for a detailed look, sorry.

This was the second goal, I was trying to achieve: best possible usability. If you try to combine these two slightly different functionalities under the same hood, you end up with interface that depends on iterator type: token_iterator<std::string::iterator> it( str ); I see it as unacceptable burden (and that is why I do not like StringAlgo lib solution, but I plan to get back to that conversation later - I have saved message I need to answer). IMO the only acceptable template parameter should be character type, which in turn should be typedefed like STL do. IOW my interface of choice is: token_iterator tit( str ); Token iterator construction based on two iterators IMO is useful only for istream tokenization. I do provide this interface but as stand alone class. Regards, Gennadiy.
