I was just looking at using Boost.Range in my new Sequence library and noticed the following:

I think I'm partially responsible for this. Originally Thorsten was using the names value_type_of, difference_of, iterator_of, etc, and I pointed out that the iterator library uses the names iterator_xxx for similar metafunctions. I believe there was extensive discussion about it at the time.
Two wrongs don't make a right! Mea culpa; I should have put those in boost::iterators::. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
