CppNorth 2024

See how I meandered through writing a version of *ranges::to* because I was impatient for the GCC 14 version. It had to be easy, right? After all, it is just copying pipeline elements to a container. Ha! Ha! No.

This trek encounters *concepts*, *if constexpr*, and containers that are copyable and others that are not. Eventually, an encounter with a **** approach, which I can only reveal during the talk, solved the copy problem for most containers. But then there are sets and queues. Finally, wrangling with `range_adaptor_closure` to work as the pipeline's endpoint was, well, interesting.

Why is ranges::to important? It is easier to use than other methods of invoking pipelines.

The talk is code intensive to illustrate all the steps to demonstrate the development process and the solution.
