Now you're just assuming I can always construct the PTE iterators.  Also, 
this still doesn't solve the problem for my users
who would much rather write MyRange() than MyRange(<some iterators>).

You guys should remember that not everyone writes libraries for C++ experts, 
who can understand this stuff.
In many cases, the more dumb the interface, the better.
