Is it not iterator_range, rather than integer_range?
I don't really get why all of Neil Groves' iterators are in a
range_detail namespace either, since they don't particularly feel like
implementation details, and obviously it prevents declaring variables of
that type without auto.
A range is just an iterator_range<some_iterator> (at least with the
current Boost.Range design), so the iterator is quite central to the
functionality and should be part of the public interface, IMHO.
