Hi,

There are reasons for it.

One of them is the posibility to store result in reference-like container.

Example:
vector<iterator_range<string::iterator> > tokens;
split(tokens, input, token_comress_off);

This way you can have a split without copying overhead. I consider
this functionality interesting enough to make the interface to be
like it is now.

Regards,
Pavol
