I've been testing my marshalling support for sub_range and have a question. 
In reviewing some old posts and notes, it looks like the following used to
compile:

boost::sub_range<std::list<int32_t> >  rng;

Today though I get the following error message:

g++  -Os -s -W -Wall -I. -I ./loki-0.1.7/include/loki/flex -I /home/brian/boost_1_47_0_beta1   -c -o local_messages_d.cg.o local_messages_d.cg.cc

Is this to be expected?  I don't know if a specialization for std::list
in this regard would be useful, but seems possible.

If I change the list to a vector, everything compiles fine.
boost::sub_range<std::vector<int32_t> >  rng;

The following sentence from the docs doesn't make sense to me.
"counting_range is a function to generator that generates an iterator_range wrapping a counting_iterator (from Boost.Iterator). "
