Comment (by Olaf van der Spek <olafvdspek@…>):

 Replying to [comment:8 rhys.ulerich@…]:
 > An iterator_range knowing that it represents a contiguous region of
 memory seems like a runtime condition to me.  What am I missing?

 It's a compile time condition. True for pointers, arrays, array, vector
 and string. False for a lot of other things.
