Nice talk! The "Try THAT with iterators, @"($#* !" part was especially
entertaining. XD
What I didn't get was why range.front is so much superior to *i. At the
end of the day they're both just functions returning whatever they
please.
range.front could insert a cheap check for validity, i.e.
assert(!empty). *i has no chance; it puts the burden of precondition on
its user.
