I assumed that overload resolution would be problematic since the range and the iterator overloads have the same number of parameters, and the iterator version has to handle raw pointers etc. I may be under-estimating the meta-programming techniques of enable_if. I will perform some experimentation on old compilers and see how well they handle the change.
I guess there are two reasons:
1. overwrite is a more explicit name for what is going on.
2. without concepts, we can't tell if a template argument is a range or an iterator
Actually, I think we can automatically detect most of the syntactic requirements for both iterators and ranges. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
