Could you give an example of such a range? Does such a
heavyweight range
come up in practice? (I'm assuming RVO would take care of not
calling
copy constructors and such.)
UTF strings - calculating length of codepoint is cheaper then
actually decoding it and then throwing away.
No, I think you misunderstood my question. I definitely know the
use case for /that/.
I was talking about an example of what I replied to, i.e. where
Roman said the "element is big". dchars aren't big.
