I need to read this through thoroughly (it looks interesting), but along 
the same vein, an alternative abstraction is to create a range adaptor 
that allows iteration through permutations and combinations of a given 
range.  This would be more flexible than a for_each algorithm style of 
iteration, but possibly less efficient.

Have you also considered multipermutations and multicombinations (where 
repetitions are allowed)?
