no. sorry.
I did the impression that the stuff you talk about therein is overkill compared to the simplicity of the problem of the range library.
I'm not sure what "the problem of the range library" is, but I think you may be right. IIUC you're just worried about how authors of range classes can supply the range-related functions such as "begin," and how users of generic ranges will invoke those functions. If so, the stuff I was talking about there is mostly unrelated. It deals with how to select algorithm implementations. I _do_ plan to introduce a new kind of range concept, but that's a separate issue. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
