Hi,

I've had this question for a long time, but I still haven't seen others asked the same question.
I wonder what's the rationale for range adaptor holding an iterator_range, instead of storing the underlying range (by reference when the range is a container) and calculating begin() and end() on the fly.

For C++11 code, it's not unusual to store the temporary expression aside and use it more than once.

E.g.

    vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3};
    auto view = v | filtered(...);
    do_something(view);
    v.push_back(4); // X
    do_something(view);


Above code is broken since 'v''s iterator is invalidated after X.

Could anybody shed some light on this matter?
