Is it not iterator_range, rather than integer_range?
Yes, the documentation was outdated.
I don't really get why all of Neil Groves' iterators are in a range_detail namespace either, since they don't particularly feel like implementation details, and obviously it prevents declaring variables of that type without auto.
A range is just an iterator_range<some_iterator> (at least with the current Boost.Range design), so the iterator is quite central to the functionality and should be part of the public interface, IMHO.
I agree. The join function suffers from the same symptoms (See my other post). Best, Vicente
