        //! iterator_range class
        /*!
            An \c iterator_range delimits a range in a sequence by beginning and ending iterators. 
            An iterator_range can be passed to an algorithm which requires a sequence as an input. 
            For example, the \c toupper() function may be used most frequently on strings, 
            but can also be used on iterator_ranges: 
            
            \code
                boost::tolower( find( s, "UPPERCASE STRING" ) );
            \endcode

            Many algorithms working with sequences take a pair of iterators, 
            delimiting a working range, as an arguments. The \c iterator_range class is an 
            encapsulation of a range identified by a pair of iterators. 
            It provides a collection interface, 
            so it is possible to pass an instance to an algorithm requiring a collection as an input.
