See Boost.Range for the concept and possibly uses. There has been some
discussion to accept it in the standard, IIRC.

The range-for as it is specified in this thread *is* simple to learn
use and teach. Not so easy to implement, but not so hard either.
I am merely pointing out that strictly emulating the range-for
behavior is far from trivial.

I have no intention to specify anything, I'm just suggesting that it
would be nice to have a library function that does this.
And this is not gcc-patches@ but gcc@: "Anything relevant to the
development or testing of GCC and not covered by other mailing lists
is suitable for discussion here."
