 Replying to [comment:5 rhys.ulerich@…]:
 > How can a member method be provided only under certain runtime
 conditions?

 It's not a runtime condition.

 > It seems the existing class methods do what one needs and that data()
 could be written as a free function.

 A free function that'd work for all containers / ranges that support
 random access would be fine too.
