No. boost_range_begin() is *only* called from boost::begin(). Nobody should be calling it directly. It is part of the Boost.Range library's interface that it can be customized this way. Concepts have nothing to do with it.
Please read Peter's posts in the thread I referenced. I have sympathy for both views. The question is whether the range concept "belongs" to the range library or if other libraries will adopt it and begin to use its customization points in the same way that the range library does. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
