That's _really_ unfortunate.  I've found range-based for gets one
thinking a different way about how to present data.  The range concept
tends to propagate and lots of potential bug sites get cleaned up.  It
can be done incrementally with no problem, but the exercise of
converting a class to provide a range interface is quite instructive.
