I speak for myself, but the funny thing is that 99% of the time, (c.begin(),
c.end()) is the range that I want, and I really hate to repeat myself. The
unfortunate thing is that due to the "pure abstraction" technique used by
standard containers, the desired functionality is (more) difficult to supply
on top of standard containers.
