When you know the type beforehand or can use templates, that is, rather
than wrapping your range struct in a wrapper class. If you can't use a
template for whatever reason, ranges are going to suck -- three virtual
calls rather than one.
I don't usually care sufficiently about performance to worry about
whether a call is virtual or not, but you brought that issue up before.
And I imagine that, most of the time, you will know the range type in
advance.
