2222	Make images & views model Collection concept.	john.femiani@…	Stefan Seefeld	"It would be convenient if GIL views modeled [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/utility/Collection.html ReversibleCollection] concept.
In fact they ''almost'' do already.

Without modeling this concept, it is hard to use an image view with boost::range algorithms.
