Sadly, Matthew's work seems to have disappeared from the internets and his web

Anyhow, this is what I could dig up in an hour or so.
That site is still up, at least for me:

I have the Oct 2004 issue of CUJ where Matthew Wilson writes about ranges:
"Ranges are simple to use and implement and, for most of the components written
so far, are compilable by a majority of commonly used compilers. They're so
simple that you may wonder why no one has defined them before."
Boost ranges are still not modern ranges:

Eric's ranges are modern ranges for C++. Matthew had them for C++ 10 years ago,
but his work was forgotten. He was going to propose it for Boost, but I don't
know what happened.
