A [*Range Adaptor] is a class that wraps an existing Range to provide a new Range with different behaviour. Since the behaviour of Ranges is determined by their associated iterators, a Range Adaptor simply wraps the underlying iterators with new special iterators. In this example

The versions of `mismatch` that return an iterator, return an iterator to the first position where `rng1` and `rng2` differ.
`mismatch` finds the first position where the two ranges `rng1` and `rng2` differ.
Equality is determined by `operator==` for non-predicate versions of `mismatch`, and by satisfying `pred` in the predicate versions.

[section:utilities Utilities]
Having an abstraction that encapsulates a pair of iterators is very useful. The standard library uses `std::pair` in some circumstances, but that class is cumbersome to use because we need to specify two template arguments, and for all range algorithm purposes we must enforce the two template arguments to be the same. Moreover, `std::pair<iterator,iterator>` is hardly self-documenting whereas more domain specific class names are. Therefore these two classes are provided:
* Class `iterator_range`
* Class `sub_range`
* Function `join`
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.
Both classes can be used as ranges since they implement the __minimal_interface__ required for this to work automatically.
[section:iterator_range Class `iterator_range`]
The intention of the `iterator_range` class is to encapsulate two iterators so they fulfill the __forward_range__ concept. A few other functions are also provided for convenience.
If the template argument is not a model of __forward_traversal_iterator__, one can still use a subset of the interface. In particular, `size()` requires Random Access Traversal Iterators whereas `empty()` only requires Single Pass Iterators.
Recall that many default constructed iterators are [*/singular/] and hence can only be assigned, but not compared or incremented or anything. However, if one creates a default constructed `iterator_range`, then one can still call all its member functions. This design decision avoids the `iterator_range` imposing limitations upon ranges of iterators that are not singular. Any singularity limitation is simply propogated from the underlying iterator type.

If an instance of `iterator_range` is constructed by a client with two iterators, the client must ensure that the two iterators delimit a valid closed-open range [begin,end).
It is worth noticing that the templated constructors and assignment operators allow conversion from `iterator_range<iterator>` to `iterator_range<const_iterator>`. Similarly, since the comparison operators have two template arguments, we can compare ranges whenever the iterators are comparable; for example when we are dealing with const and non-const iterators from the same container.

[section:sub_range Class `sub_range`]
The `sub_range` class inherits all its functionality from the __iterator_range__ class. The `sub_range` class is often easier to use because one must specify the __forward_range__ template argument instead of an iterator. Moreover, the `sub_range` class can propagate constness since it knows what a corresponding `const_iterator` is.

The class should be trivial to use as seen below. Imagine that we have an algorithm that searches for a sub-string in a string. The result is an iterator_range, that delimits the match. We need to store the result from this algorithm. Here is an example of how we can do it with and without `sub_range`
``
std::string str("hello");
iterator_range<std::string::iterator> ir = find_first( str, "ll" );
sub_range<std::string> sub = find_first( str, "ll" );

[section:join Function join]
The intention of the `join` function is to join two ranges into one longer range.
The resultant range will have the lowest common traversal of the two ranges supplied as parameters.
Note that the joined range incurs a performance cost due to the need to check if the end of a range has been reached internally during traversal.

[h4 Example]
The expression `join(irange(0,5), irange(5,10))` would evaluate to a range representing an integer range `[0,10)`
