Comment:

 I didn't feel it was too early to put this into the release branch. The
 core of the interface design is built upon experience gained with other
 any_iterator implementations. The implementation of any_interface has been
 tested in production environments successfully. The inclusion of the
 type_erased definitely has application particularly when chaining adaptors
 that are passing results to templatised range algorithms that are not
 specialised for any_range.

 At this point experience shows that the feature is popular and working.
