Comment (by kaballo86@…):

 Replying to [comment:7 viboes]:
 > Why it needs to copy the view? A concrete example will help.

 Because that's the way it's usually done: views are copied. Views don't
 own their elements, in a way they are already references. Also, this
 allows chaining views, for instance `one_view( another_view(
 some_container ) )` where the intermediate temporary view cannot be taken
 by reference.

 This is totally unrelated to the issue with `base_from_member`, and as
 such I think it is off-topic. If you want to continue this discussion
 contact me to my email address, which you should be able to see here.
