Simple API for range

[michaelmior]

Unless I'm missing something, if I just want a progress bar for something that goes over a range of input, I have to use the imperative syntax which implies two additional levels of nesting. It would be great if there were a simple declarative API that accepts two integers and lets me iterate over the range between them.

I tried using an IntStream with the existing declarative API which almost works, but doesn't maintain the total size.

Can you use Guava / ApacheCommonsLang's Range class for this?

[michaelmior]

Perhaps, but it would be unfortunate to have to pull in either of those for a fairly simple problem.

The principled way is that you continue using IntStream and I'll add a proper ProgressBar.wrap(Stream) function that reads the estimated remaining size as the max limit of the progress bar. Thanks for pointing this out -- this function will be added in the next release.

[michaelmior]

That would be great :) That was actually how I expected things to work already. Thanks!

Now supported in 0.7.2.

Awesome! Thank you :)
