Range-V3-VS2015

This is a fork of Eric Niebler's range-v3 library with extensive (and somewhat invasive) workarounds to support the Visual C++ compiler as released in Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. Our intent is to evolve both this fork and upstream range-v3 toward each other by upstreaming less invasive workarounds and removing those that become unnecessary as the compiler evolves to be more standard conformant. Eventually the two streams will merge and Visual C++ users will be well-served by unmodified upstream range-v3. This fork will then exist only to provide support for users of older less-conforming versions of Visual C++.

About (excerpted from the upstream README):

Why does C++ need another range library? Simply put, the existing solutions haven't kept up with the rapid evolution of C++. Range v3 is a library for the future C++. Not only does it work well with today's C++ -- move semantics, lambdas, automatically deduced types and all -- it also anticipates tomorrow's C++ with Concepts Lite.

Range v3 forms the basis of a proposal to add range support to the standard library (N4128: Ranges for the Standard Library). It also will be the reference implementation for an upcoming Technical Specification. These are the first steps toward turning ranges into an international standard.
