Often enough. I often find myself returning ranges, which are

Hmm, I'm still trying to decide if this is a major concern.
Generally when returning a range, this is done because operations
are being performed on a container, the specific container isn't
important and many times nor is the type in the container. This
means my function is a template.
The times when I could see returning a complex type where the
function isn't templates is when I'm loading the data to be
consumed. In this case I generally will return the container
itself (since ownership isn't with the called function).
