Is this MPL's way of having OutputIterators?  I have to admit that
converting iterators to sequences is not what I first expected.  Also,
I didn't see iterator_range that Terje mentions anywhere in the MPL
docs, so I wasn't even sure if there was a uniform way to convert
iterators to sequences.  Anyway, now that I know this, I can write some
more MPL.  I guess right now, the code is still the final reference. :(
