I've now built a filter_range, transform_range, and an istream_range in
this vein. Initial results are looking promising, but I haven't
benchmarked performance, yet. A commenter on my blog claims to have
benchmarked perf of istream_range, with good results, which is encouraging.

If anybody wants to take a peek, you can find the code here:

I'm making no effort to maintain source compatibility, going instead
with the design that seems right to me for C++11.
