Well, depending on how much you want to use a range based approach, you
could construct zip iterators of your two ranges, then put your begin/end
into a
pair, and use that as your range. The application of f() and g() would need
to be
wrapped in binds, to pick out the doubles from the tuple resulting from
dereferencing
the zip iterator.

If you do a lot of this it might be worthwhile, and you could template the
whole thing
for generality.

Generalising to n ranges would be an interesting programming exercise!
