LINQ in C++

You know, LINQ really is nothing new. It's been supported in the Standard library since there was a Standard. And some trivial proxies/wrappers can prove that. The problem is just that it was butt ugly.

template<typename T, typename F> class proxy {
    T&& t;
    F&& f;
public:
    template<typename TRef, typename FRef> proxy(TRef&& tref, FRef&& fref) {
        : t(std::forward<TRef>(tref)), f(std::forward<FRef>(fref)) {}
    template<typename ret> operator ret() {
        ret retval;
        std::for_each(t.begin(), t.end(), [&](decltype(*t.begin()) ref) {
            retval.emplace_back(f(ref));
        });
        return retval;
    }
};

template<typename T, typename F> auto Select(T&& t, F&& f) -> proxy<T, F> {
    return proxy<T, F>(t, f);
}

What I really need is one: add member interface, not free function, and two, alter the lazy evaluation to be per-value on-demand, not all at once, if possible. To do this I will implement some custom iterators. Then my domination of the galaxy shall be complete. By that, I mean I will feel at least somewhat better. And less devastatingly sick.
