well, it is always unfortunate when the design is not optimal in the 
first version of a library, but I guess that is just life.

something along the follwing might work:

find . -name "*.cpp" | xargs sed -e --in-place 
"s/range_iterator</mutable_iterator</"

find . -name "*.cpp" | xargs sed -e --in-place 
"s/range_result_iterator</range_iterator</"

etc
