I agree. My alternative would be to abandon similar 'hasXYZ' stuff
(which doesn't convey the picture and looks hacky), and instead formally
define what those are, like I/O range. Sounds good/bad?
You may want to just spell it clearly.
So right now we have the notions:
input range (well one-pass range)
forward range
bidirectional range
random-access range
output range
coupled with the capability queries
isInfinite
hasAssignableElements
hasLength
...
The small set of ranges coupled with the capability queries reflect the
orthogonal or near-orthogonal nature of such.
As far as I understand the above, you propose the notions:
input range
input range with assignable elements
infinite input range
infinite input range with assignable elements
forward range
forward range with assignable elements
...
That seems pretty onerous, but then I can't derive other meaning from
your post.
