Thank you, makes sense. I've always been reading N4950 when implementing
the C++23 parts of mdspan. However, it makes sense to already prepare for
the hardening coming in C++26.

If I understand correctly, you'd like to do a second round of reviewing.
I'll wait with v3 until you clearly tell me to submit the next iteration.
