This fixes a compilation issue with the library if trying to parse JSON from a
custom container type that doesn't support detecting `begin()` and `end()`
functions via ADL.
`include/nlohmann/detail/input/input_adapters.hpp` defines convenience function
for creating input adapter for STL-like containers. It should support iterators
both via `std::begin()` and `std::end()`, as well as `begin()` and `end()` found
via ADL. However, the former doesn't actually work for iterable types not
defined in the `std` namespace, due to the way the return type deduction is
implemented:
$ cat test.cc
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
const char DATA[] = R"("Hello, world!")";
struct MyIterable {
using iterator = const char*;
using const_iterator = iterator;
const_iterator begin() const { return DATA; }
const_iterator end() const { return DATA + sizeof(DATA); }
};
int main()
{
const auto c = MyIterable {};
std::cout << nlohmann::json::parse(c) << "\n";
return 0;
}

In the above example the trailing type deduction won't look for the `begin()`
and `end()` functions in the `std` namespace, although the function body would.
I don't know about a more elegant fix in C++11 except to spell out the return
type verbatim.
