RE: [boost] discrete_set class

May be you are right, but I'd like to know size of container, I'd like iterator.
Also I'd like contain with integer interface. It will make me happy :-). I explain you smth.
I have client\server application. I do a lot of enum serialization between client and server.
So if I want to test whether just unserialized enum value is legal or not I have to make casting
to its enum. It doesn't look good( for my opinion of course).

And also 
enum large {null_large = 0, b1 = 1, b3 = 3, b7 = 7, b32 = 32, b34 = 34,
            b250 = 250, b254 = 254, b255 = 255, num_large};

typedef discrete_set<large, b255, b1, null_large> lset;

It is not intuitive to me. I'd like to see "begin - end" concept.

lset _lset;
//... fill set

unsigned int _uilarge = num_large;
Unserialize(&_uilarge); 
assert( _lset.contain( static_cast<large>(_uilarge))); // <== Doesn't looks good. I have a lot of code like this
