This is a known problem with this release. It is a plan to fix string_algo to
use Boost.Range instead of its internal version
Before the release, the Boost.Range was not stable enough. It has changed later
on, but then I didn't want the make big changes just before the release.
If I would know that it would take so long to get the release the change
would have be there long time ago.
