// AsSpan inspired by Fekir's Blog https://fekir.info/post/span-the-missing-constructor/
// Used under MIT license

// Use AsSpan for less typing on any container including initializer list to create a span
// (unnamed, untyped initializer list does not automatically convert to gsl::span).
// {1, 2, 3} as such does not have a type
// (see https://scottmeyers.blogspot.com/2014/03/if-braced-initializers-have-no-type-why.html)
//
//   Example: AsSpan({1, 2, 3}) results in gsl::span<const int>
//
// The above would deduce to std::initializer_list<int> and the result is gsl::span<const int>
//
// AsSpan<int64_t>({1, 2, 3}) produces gsl::span<const int64_t>
//
// We can also do std::array<int64_t, 3>{1, 2, 3} that can be automatically converted to span
// without memory allocation.
//
// If type conversion is not required, then for C++17 std::array template parameters are
// auto-deduced. Example: std::array{1, 2, 3}.
// We are aiming at not allocating memory dynamically.
