Milestone:  To Be Determined           |   Component:  Documentation
  Version:  Boost Release Branch       |    Severity:  Cosmetic

---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 The
 [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/algorithms/numeric/inner_product.html

 documentation of boost::inner product] from boost range gives the
 following signature for the second version of boost::inner_product:
 {{{
 template<class SinglePassRange1,
          class SinglePassRange2,
          class Value,
          class BinaryOperation1,
          class BinaryOperation2>
     Value inner_product( const SinglePassRange1& rng1,
                          const SinglePassRange2& rng2,
                          Value                   init,
                          BinaryOperation1        op1 );
 }}}
 This does not conform to the actual signature found in
 [http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/range/numeric.hpp

 boost/range/numeric.hpp] and is thus in contradiction with the signature
 of std::inner_product. I believe the signature should be
 {{{
 template<class SinglePassRange1,
          class SinglePassRange2,
          class Value,
          class BinaryOperation1,
          class BinaryOperation2>
     Value inner_product( const SinglePassRange1& rng1,
                          const SinglePassRange2& rng2,
                          Value                   init,
                          BinaryOperation1        op1,
                          BinaryOperation2        op2 );
 }}}
