Yes, I was agreeing with that.

I was referring to the change of description of size() on

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/libs/range/doc/headers.html

vs

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_33_1/libs/range/doc/headers.html

the new Range broke my code.

Of course.  Again, I was in agreement and just ruing the change.  It just 
means I just had to go and
re-implement the old behaviour myself, and changing the locations using it.
