Comment:

 The counting_range is now just a dumb wrapper for a range of
 counting_iterator with entirely consistent semantics to the underlying
 iterator. I agree that other counting type ranges and adapters are useful
 but that's not this ticket. This ticket is about the defect of the
 counting_range function that takes ranges.

 The adaptor that has been mentioned may be useful, but I don't want to
 make it a counted adaptor. This is just too bonkers even for my code! I am
 happy to create something else for doing the opposite of indirecting
 (directing?!). I shall consider adding a directed adaptor.
