Hi,
what is the distinction between a range_error and an
overflow/underflow_error?
Are overflow/underflow_errors not a range_error?

There is none - the standard says nothing meaningful to distiguish the
different standard exception classes. All they have is names, and those
names imply overlapping meanings.
