Comment(by steven_watanabe):

 Assign for containers makes a copy of all the elements.  Clearly,
 iterator_range is not going to do this.  I think it's a bad idea for
 iterator_range to try to mimic the mutable interface of containers, when
 the actual behavior is not consistent.  While I appreciate that you want
 to use iterator_range with tokenizer, I think adding assign to
 iterator_range is probably the wrong solution.  I think it would be better
 if tokenizer could be changed so that it doesn't rely on assign.
