Re: [boost] BOOST_FOREACH and Boost.RegEx

I often use Boost.RegEx as follows:
boost::cregex_iterator i = (pBegin, pEnd, /*Stuff here/*);
 boost::cregex_iterator e;
for ( ; i!=e; ++i)
{
    // Stuff here
}
While there is nothing wrong with this I'd like to be able to use
BOOST_FOREACH to do it. For this to work there would need to be a container
that contains the iterators instead of just creating them directly.
A boost::iterator_range<> with the two regex_iterators would work, or 
even just a std::pair:

BOOST_FOREACH(cmatch const &what, std::make_pair(i,e))
{
    // use "what"
}
