Can't a container be a range as well?
For Christ sake no, no and no. For starters range skips/drops
elements when iterating, and thusly iteration has its own state
that is useless for a container otherwise.
Iteration is a stateful process, ranges are related to the
process of iteration not to containers. As you say state is
useless for containers but is necessary to iteration and its
context.
