Just curious, why use std::begin and std::end instead of collection.begin() and collection.end()?

Well, it's a generic free function that will call what you expect without any overload (for any decent compiler). It also support arrays, so you can call sum_numbers on an array as well. And of course you can call it with any non-STL container for which an appropriate overload of the functions has been created.
