Comment (by kaballo86@…):

 I have added an use case with a reference base_from_member resulting in
 undefined behavior. It's based on my original use case, where I had a view
 over a pair of iterators and I wanted to implement a view over a container
 reusing the previous view. When base_from_member is instantiated with a
 reference, the reference points to the copy of the argument used in its
 construction, so it effectively becomes a dangling reference.
