+// Move a range in a vector to a different position.
+// The parameters are given according to the usual STL-semantics:
+// v: a container with STL-like random access iterator via std::begin(...)
+// rangeBegin: index of first element
+// rangeEnd: index one *past* last element
+// destination: index to element before which the range will be moved
+// Owing to std::begin() magic, this function works with STL-like containers:
+// QVector<int> v{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
+// moveInVector(v, 1, 4, 6);
+// as well as with C-style arrays:
+// int array[10] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
+// moveInVector(array, 1, 4, 6);
+// Both calls will have the following effect:
+// Before: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
+// After: 0 4 5 1 2 3 6 7 8 9
+// No sanitizing of the input arguments is performed.
