Changes (by jewillco):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix

Comment:

 This is a good idea (returning `std::pair` breaks C++11 range-based `for`
 as well), but there are lots of places that assume the return type is
 exactly a pair of two iterators, so I'm closing this as wontfix for
 compatibility reasons.  If we do any kind of updates to the interface,
 though, this change should be made.
