I didn't, because I don't directly call range.
I use... tuple, date-time, and array... perhaps I mistakenly judged it to
be from inside array.
<sarcasm>Microsoft in its _INFINITE_ wisdom, _innovated_ from the compiler
output, the points at which #included files are mentioned</sarcasm> which
means an error of the form
sfinae.hpp (25) some error message is almost worthless for finding the
CAUSE <extreme sarcasm>Thank you Microsoft</extreme sarcasm>

so I'm still looking for the problem.

In addition, I don't know what Jonathan Turkanis is doing with his editor
and / or cvs client, but I consistently get errors after he's updated things.
sometimes my client complains that it gets a checksum error after applying
a patch (only solution is to delete the file and let it do a U type
checkout instead of a P...which then causes the client to report an error
and the script will try 5 more times to get all the files (this adds around
20 minutes to the regression run time).
OR, I get line endings (on the lines he's changed) which
are \r\r\n (which my version of VC8.0 calls illegal)
A particularly gratuitous change is revision 1.5 of iostreams/chain.hpp
with the log entry:
revision 1.5
date: 2005/04/09 20:21:43; author: turkanis; state: Exp; lines: +5 -5
fixed whitespace

which ONLY added a trailing ' ' to ONE line and changed a bunch of line
endings to \r\r\n.
AND which triggered a remake for all the regression testers.

Getting this kinda crap to stop would certainly help.
