     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new       
Milestone:  Boost 1.43.0  |   Component:  range     
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0  |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 While the documentation of boost::iterator_range<T> states that size()
 should work on all Forward Iterators, boost::iterator_range<T> relies on
 operator- being available to T.
 I suggest making size() equivalent to boost::distance(it).
