Yes, I was talking about Boost.Range concepts, which are used in
Boost.StringAlgo. Here you pass a reference to an object whose
beginning and ending can be obtained by boost::begin()/end().
This way the string algorithms work directly with string_ref.

If I understood lexical_cast correctly, it uses ranges internally
but do not expose them in the API.
