Actually, now that I think about it, contiguous_range<T> == iterator_range<T*>, AFAICT. Maybe iterator_range<T*> might want some member functions added for conversion to/from other contiguous ranges, and maybe there are some other interface tweaks one can make specific for pointers.

contiguous_range should have data() and operator[], iterator_range doesn't have them. iterator_range is also problematic when constructing from literals as literals are implicitly treated as arrays. BTW, contiguous_range sounds like the array_ref proposal. Olaf
