Except that there are no interfaces involved. Using isForwardRange(), 
isBidirectionalRange(), etc. works just fine and is quite reliable. Using 
interfaces wouldn't have helped any and would have been less flexible.

??? You can use both structs and classes to implement containers and ranges. And 
how the internals of a type work is completely up to the type. Now, structs are 
generally more efficient, so they're more likely to be used, but you can use 
classes just fine.
