I consider changing a bit D's range model following the better
understanding reflected in this article:

If you have any thoughts and if you can help with the implementation,
please let us know.

Can you detail a little more what you're proposing? I read your article this
morning, though admittedly I skimmed over some of the examples that looked like
things I had already been using in my code since ranges were released. The only
thing I noticed was the save() function for forward ranges. This resolves the
old
wart that input ranges vs. forward ranges are strictly a convention, and I think
it's a good idea. Other than that, again, please distill what you're proposing.
One is indeed save(), the other is separation of iteration from access.
These are the only major changes. The second is quite hefty.
BTW, just saw on the announce group that the article was reddited -
