Hi,
I think there's an issue with the documentation of 'remove_erase_if' algorithm from Boost.Range library.
It says:
"remove_erase_if removes the elements x that satisfy pred(x) from the container. This is in contrast to the erase algorithm which merely rearranges elements."
I believe it's not in contrast to the "erase" algorithm but rather the "remove" algorithm.
On this particular ocassion the documentation is correct. The std::erase algorithm does not remove elements. Hence the erase - remove idiom is frequently useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erase-remove_idiom I have then made this idiom available and directly supported in Boost.Range.
