  /*!
    \brief Non-owning sequence of data. Does not deep copy

    Inspired by `gsl::span` and/or `boost::iterator_range`. This class is
    intended to be used as a parameter type for functions that need to take a
    writable or read-only sequence of data. Most common cases are `span<char>`
    and `span<std::uint8_t>`. Using as a class member is only recommended if
    clearly documented as not doing a deep-copy. C-arrays are easily convertible
    to this type.

    \note Conversion from C string literal to `span<const char>` will include
      the NULL-terminator.
    \note Never allows derived-to-base pointer conversion; an array of derived
      types is not an array of base types.
   */

       derived-to-base conversions. This is NOT desireable because an array of
       derived types is not an array of base types. It is possible to handle
       this case, implement when/if needed. */
