[boost] [Boost.Test] range support

From: Jens Theisen (jth01_at_[hidden])

Hello,

what do people think about Boost.Range support?

Instead of writing

my_range_type r = <complex expression>;

std::vector< int > v = list_of(1)(2)(3);

BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_COLLECTIONS(r.begin(), r.end(), v.begin(), v.end());

one could write more conveniently the single line

BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_RANGES( <complex expression>, list_of(1)(2)(3) );

It's also more readable and would so improve the documentational aspect of  
tests.

(Is it ok to post short diffs as this?)
