Is there any such library which doesn't duplicate the original STL
iterator semantics?  An STL iterator which denotes the end of a range
points to an element after the last element included in the range.
This differs from the Standard Ada approach for arrays, and I fear
that mixing both conventions results in code which is a bit irritating
at least.
