  That's a valid technical reason why there isn't a std::sort that takes containers. It's not a valid reason why there can't be a std::range_sort or std::range::sort that takes container arguments.

    If I was doing heavy C++11 today, that kind of range namespace would be the second thing I'd write; the first being a bunch of string functions for the operations I actually want to do with strings (as opposed to the low level "character buffer manipulation primitives" the STL offers). I was ok with that low level, low semantics design in the STL until I heard that stuff about integrating a graphics library. Now I'm just confused. :)
