AFAIR the naming of adaptors was always a concern. But just look at the
reference:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/adaptors/reference.html.
There is reversed, transformed, copied, etc. Maybe a little bit
misleading but in the case of Boost.Range it doesn't mean that the range
was changed somehow.
