I would like to encourage you to post so that as those of us attempting to resolve the remaining issues
Neil, Thank you for the encouragment. I tried responding to all relevant posts tonight.
I fully expect to have an "old behaviour" class to compliment iterator_range ready for the vault within a week or two.
I appreciate your efforts - having said that, please don't implement it on my behalf. I have to find a workable solution sooner than that. iterator_range provided me and my users with some niceties. I now have to go and re-evaluate my design. However, I am confident we will look at and use your library once it's in boost.
Your email gives the impression that somehow the response has been unsatisfactory. What is it that you additionally expect to occur?
Sometimes it seemed that people were not willing to see that different use cases exist - and posting here sometimes feels like stirring a hornets' nest. Thinking about any positives to take away, I see the following: a) I've learnt a few things b) there are people here who are still interested in helping and collaboration. The negatives: Too much arguing about fringe issues, which completely obscures the relevant discussion Best regards, Tom
