Hello, what do people think about Boost.Range support? Instead of writing my_range_type r = <complex expression>; std::vector< int > v = list_of(1)(2)(3); BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_COLLECTIONS(r.begin(), r.end(), v.begin(), v.end()); one could write more conveniently the single line BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_RANGES( <complex expression>, list_of(1)(2)(3) ); It's also more readable and would so improve the documentational aspect of tests. (Is it ok to post short diffs as this?)
