+// This test was added due to a report that the Range Adaptors:
+// 1. Caused havoc when using namespace boost::adaptors was used
+// 2. Did not work with non-member functions
+// 3. The strided adaptor could not be composed with sliced
+//
+// None of these issues could be reproduced on GCC 4.4, but this
+// work makes for useful additional test coverage since this
+// uses chaining of adaptors and non-member functions whereas
+// most of the tests avoid this use case.
