[boost] Re: Get/set state in Mersenne Twister

There is already a func that can be used to set the state, but it has a
strange signature that makes it a bit awkward:

  template<class It>
  void seed(It& first, It last)

Is it really intended that first arg is reference, but last is not? 
According to g++, this common call would not match:

seed (cont.begin(), cont.end())
