This caches iterators, i.e. especially the end iterator when possible.
The problem:
for (auto it = begin(seq); it != end(seq); ++it)
this has to call `end(seq)` on every iteration, since the compiler is
not able to reason about the call's site effects (to bad, huh).
Instead do it like this:
for (auto it = begin(seq), end = end(seq); it != end; ++it)
caching the end iterator.
Of course, still better would be:
for (auto&& each : seq)
if all you want is value semantics.
Why `auto&&` you may ask? Because it binds to everything and never copies!
Skim the referenced proposal (that was rejected, but nevertheless) for a
detailed explanation on range-based for loops and why `auto&&` is great.
