Is there a 1 line wonder for counting iterator and back_inserter - say a 
counting iterator where the start and step can be specified?

The following code  creates an vector of angles from zero to N-1 * angle 
step;

     std::vector angles;
     float angle_step = 0.275;
     int number_angles = 293;

     std::copy(
         boost::counting_iterator<float>(0),
         boost::counting_iterator<float>(number_angles),
         std::back_inserter(angles) );

     std::copy(
         boost::make_transform_iterator(angles.begin(), 
boost::bind1st(std::multiplies<float>(), angle_step )),
         boost::make_transform_iterator(angles.end(), 
boost::bind1st(std::multiplies<float>(), angle_step )),
         angles.begin() );

Is there or could there be a counting iterator or other mechanism to do 
this in 1 line?
Say where the start and step could be specified?

Thanks
