 /**
  * Nonowning view to a sequence of contiguous elements.
  *
  * Spans encapsulate a pointer to a sequence of contiguous elements and its size
  * into a single object. Span can replace the traditional pair of pointer and
  * size arguments passed as array definitions in function calls.
  *
  * @par Operations
  *
  * Span objects can be copied and assigned like regular value types with the help
  * of the copy constructor or the copy assignment (=) operator.
  *
  * You can retrieve elements of the object with the subscript ([]) operator. You can access the
  * pointer to the first element of the sequence viewed with data().
  * The function size() returns the number of elements in the sequence, and
  * empty() informs whether there is any element in the sequence.
  *
  * You can slice Span from the beginning of the sequence (first()), from the end
  * of the sequence (last()) or from an arbitrary point of the sequence (subspan()).
  *
  * @par Size encoding
  *
  * The size of the sequence can be encoded in the type itself or in the value of
  * the instance with the help of the template parameter Extent:
  *
  *   - Span<uint8_t, 6>: Span over a sequence of 6 elements.
  *   - Span<uint8_t>: Span over an arbitrary long sequence.
  *
  * When the size is encoded in the type itself, it is guaranteed that the Span
  * view is a valid sequence (not empty() and not NULL) - unless Extent equals 0.
  * The type system also prevents automatic conversion from Span of different
  * sizes. Finally, the Span object is internally represented as a single pointer.
  *
  * When the size of the sequence viewed is encoded in the Span value, Span
  * instances can view an empty sequence. The function empty() helps client code
  * decide whether Span is viewing valid content or not.
  *
  * @par Example
  *
  * - Encoding fixed size array: Array values in parameter decays automatically
  * to pointer, which leaves room for subtitle bugs:
  *
  * @code
     typedef uint8_t mac_address_t[6];
     void process_mac(mac_address_t);
 
     // compile just fine
     uint8_t *invalid_value = NULL;
     process_mac(invalid_value);
 
 
     // correct way
     typedef Span<uint8_t, 6> mac_address_t;
     void process_mac(mac_address_t);
 
     // compilation error
     uint8_t *invalid_value = NULL;
     process_mac(invalid_value);
 
     // compilation ok
     uint8_t valid_value[6];
     process_mac(valid_value);
  * @endcode
  *
  * - Arbitrary buffer: When dealing with multiple buffers, it becomes painful to
  * keep track of every buffer size and pointer.
  *
  * @code
     const uint8_t options_tag[OPTIONS_TAG_SIZE];
