   The range constructor probably looks like:   
      
   template    
   template    
   std::vector::vector(It begin, It end)   
   {   
      for (It it = begin; it != end; ++it)   
      {   
         Alloc::construct(internalBufferPointer, *it);   
         internalBufferPointer += sizeof A;   
      }   
   }

   for (const char* it = "abc"; it != "def"; ++it)   
   {/.../}

   In C++03:   
   void construct ( pointer p, const_reference val );
