Derived from iterator_range and operator==

[Olaf van der Spek <olafvdspek@…>]

Shouldn't this just work? Comparing two boost::iterator_range<const char*> works fine.

#include <boost/range/iterator_range.hpp>

class str_ref : public boost::iterator_range<const char*>
{
};

int main()
{
       boost::iterator_range<const char*> a;
       a == a;
       str_ref b;
       b == b; // 12
}

Yes it should!
