+This adaptor produces a range that can be output streamed to a
+`std::basic_ostream` to produce the output string formatted output. With the
+default paramters given numbers 1 to 5 inclusively in a range the output when
+streamed would be "{0,1,2,3,4,5}". The prefix, separator and postfix may be
+passed as parameters.
+
+The general format of the output is thus:
+<prefix><element_1><sep><element_2><sep>...<element_n><postfix>
+
+* [*Precondition:]
+    * `0 <= n`.
+    * `sep` has a type that is CopyConstructible and able to be streamed to `std::basic_ostream<Char,Traits>`
+    * `prefix` has a type that is CopyConstructible and able to be streamed to `std::basic_ostream<Char,Traits>`
+    * `postfix` has a type that is CopyConstructible and able to be streamed to `std::basic_ostream<Char,Traits>`
+* [*Returns:] `boost::range::formatted_range<Iter, Sep, Prefix, Postfix>` where
+`Iter` is `typename boost::range_iterator<Rng>::type`, `Sep` is the separator
+type, `Prefix` is the prefix type and `Postfix` is the postfix type.
+* [*Range Category:] __single_pass_range__
+* [*Returned Range Category:] The range category of `rng`.

 The `iterator_range` class is templated on an __forward_traversal_iterator__ and should be used whenever fairly general code is needed. The `sub_range` class is templated on an __forward_range__ and it is less general, but a bit easier to use since its template argument is easier to specify. The biggest difference is, however, that a `sub_range` can propagate constness because it knows what a corresponding `const_iterator` is.
