[Range] Not reinventing the wheel!
I came to boost.range looking for, and expecting to find, everything I needed to able to uniformly apply standard algorithms to containers and arrays, and maybe other things too, and that seems to be what boost.range is about. Maybe I've missed something, but it seems to supply only the 'scaffolding' to allow me to do-it-myself? Is this right? Some of the examples show how to do this, but that was what I was expecting the library itself to so. Is there some component I've missed here, or perhaps an 'algorithm' library build on top of boost.range? Thanks, Rob. -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.accu.org

Boost.range_ex gives you what you want, but it's not completed (yet). I think a version of it is in the sandbox. Feel free to help out, if you have the time! Cheers, /Marcus

The sandbox.... scary! Am I right in thinking the sandbox is just code, someone's brain dump, waiting to be moulded into a more usable state, and usually lacking any documentation (beyond Doxygen) at all? I've seen range_ex mentioned before, as a basis of some other work (possibly by Eric), so this particular sandbox lib is likely to be reasonably robust?

Code in the sandbox is in varying degrees of completeness.

RangeEx is in the review queue, so it ought to be. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
