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

    Inspired by `gsl::span`. 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. `std::vector`, `std::string`, `std::array`, and C-arrays are all
    easily convertible to this type.

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

       constructors will allow 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. */
