range is not a small library

one can always alias it in any application.

We might disagree on what convention is.  But I'll state that the boost 
namespace
is getting two crowded.  We are now encouraging new library to use
the boost/<library name>/.....hpp and boost::<library name>:: ... 
convention.

This really necessary to be able to use typenames such as find, etc in 
different libraries.
