Boost.Range

History and Acknowledgement

The library have been under way for a long time. Dietmar Kühl originally intended to submit an array_traits<> class template which had most of the functionality present now, but only for arrays and standard containers.

Meanwhile work on container algorithms in various context showed the need for handling pairs of iterators, and string libraries needed special treatment of character arrays.
