The class template span describes an object that can refer to a contiguous sequence of objects with the first element of the sequence at position zero. A span can either have a static extent, in which case the number of elements in the sequence is known and encoded in the type, or a dynamic extent.
A typical implementation holds only two members: a pointer to T and a size.
Template parameters
| T | - | element type; must be a complete type that is not an abstract class type |
| Extent | - | the number of elements in the sequence, or std::dynamic_extent if dynamic

Note: iterator is a mutable iterator if T is not const-qualified.
All requirements on the iterator types of a Container applies to the iterator and const_iterator types of span as well.
