Only Qt users. C++ proper doesn't have such a concept (yet) :'(.

This of course assumes that a) you know in advance how large your vector
needs to be, and b) that it will actually be that large, or that the
cost of possibly unused memory is low.

I'll still assert that C++ needs relocatability :-).

How do ranges solve the problem of doing something with an element iff
it exists in the container?

I'm not sure what you mean by "hand written code"? How *else* would you
write something like the above?
