Range classes

Hello,

I've uploaded a few files that could make working with ranges instead of
pairs of iterators easier.
Class range_t is the main class, it contains a pair of iterators and some
functions on it. range.hpp contains this class, along with convenience
function range(container&), range(const iterator&, const iterator&),
crange(const container&). The file RangeTest.cpp demonstrates its use.
An extension of range_t could be reversible_range_t, this one has one
additional type, reverse_iterator, and some convenience functions, like
rrange(container&), that does the same thing as range() but returns a
reversible_range_t, and reverse_range(container&), that takes the container
and reverses the range.

I saw quite some emails about range classes, mainly in august 2001, is there
still interest in these classes?
I took the liberty of uploading them already because of the interest in the
past, so you can view them right away.

Best Regards,
Richard Peters
