/** A Span is an object that can refer to a contiguous sequence of objects.
 *
 * It implements a subset of C++20's std::span.
 *
 * Things to be aware of when writing code that deals with Spans:
 *
 * - Similar to references themselves, Spans are subject to reference lifetime
 *   issues. The user is responsible for making sure the objects pointed to by
 *   a Span live as long as the Span is used. For example:
 *
 *       std::vector<int> vec{1,2,3,4};
 *       Span<int> sp(vec);
 *       vec.push_back(5);
 *       printf("%i\n", sp.front()); // UB!
 *
 *   may exhibit undefined behavior, as increasing the size of a vector may
 *   invalidate references.
 *
 * - One particular pitfall is that Spans can be constructed from temporaries,
 *   but this is unsafe when the Span is stored in a variable, outliving the
 *   temporary. For example, this will compile, but exhibits undefined behavior:
 *
 *       Span<const int> sp(std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3});
 *       printf("%i\n", sp.front()); // UB!
 *
 *   The lifetime of the vector ends when the statement it is created in ends.
 *   Thus the Span is left with a dangling reference, and using it is undefined.
 *
 * - Due to Span's automatic creation from range-like objects (arrays, and data
 *   types that expose a data() and size() member function), functions that
 *   accept a Span as input parameter can be called with any compatible
 *   range-like object. For example, this works:
*
 *       void Foo(Span<const int> arg);
 *
 *       Foo(std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3}); // Works
 *
 *   This is very useful in cases where a function truly does not care about the
 *   container, and only about having exactly a range of elements. However it
 *   may also be surprising to see automatic conversions in this case.
 *
 *   When a function accepts a Span with a mutable element type, it will not
 *   accept temporaries; only variables or other references. For example:
 *
 *       void FooMut(Span<int> arg);
 *
 *       FooMut(std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3}); // Does not compile
 *       std::vector<int> baz{1, 2, 3};
 *       FooMut(baz); // Works
 *
 *   This is similar to how functions that take (non-const) lvalue references
 *   as input cannot accept temporaries. This does not work either:
 *
 *       void FooVec(std::vector<int>& arg);
 *       FooVec(std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3}); // Does not compile
 *
 *   The idea is that if a function accepts a mutable reference, a meaningful
 *   result will be present in that variable after the call. Passing a temporary
 *   is useless in that context.
