Hi, I try use boost::iterator_range as replacement for some standard container in my code. The function iterator_range::size() has non standart declaration:
difference_type size() const; but not: size_type size() const

I think declaration of boost::iterator_range must be fixed. Or there was some reason for this non standard declaration?
This came up just recently, e.g., http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/224758 I think the end result was an agreement that typedef typename boost::make_unsigned< difference_type >::type size_type would be a valid definition of size_type, so the only argument against making the change that I can see is breaking existing code (probably unlikely...?) and...inertia. - Jeff
