I have two thoughts about this.

First, there's already a type for this in Boost, called half_open_range.

Second, the specific idea you are proposing was discussed in past threads:

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/5178
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/15355
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/19067

No one has yet picked up the project and developed it to the formal review
stage.
