Don't worry; I'll propose this as part óf my submission of boost.range.
Please be sure to coordinate with other people who worked/are working on the topic, then. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/120408/, for instance. This is way too important to allow a false start, IMO. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
