/// This provides a very simple, boring adaptor for a begin and end iterator
/// into a range type. This should be used to build range views that work well
/// with range based for loops and range based constructors.
///
/// Note that code here follows more standards-based coding conventions as it
/// is mirroring proposed interfaces for standardization.
