OK, I'll hold off on filing a DR until we have some recommendations. 
FWIW, I no longer like my suggestion of adding in_range and 
in_range_nocase to the traits. They are both sub-optimal. The first 
makes it impossible to binary_search a sorted sparse vector of ranges, 
and the second forces you to do case folding repeatedly for every [from, 
to] range in the vector, instead of just once. Still thinking....
