21.4.2.2 Iterator support [string.view.iterators]

using const_iterator = implementation-defined;
A type that meets the requirements of a constant Cpp17RandomAccessIterator ([random.access.iterators]), models contiguous_­iterator ([iterator.concept.contiguous]), and meets the constexpr iterator requirements ([iterator.requirements.general]), whose value_­type is the template parameter charT.
All requirements on container iterators ([container.requirements]) apply to basic_­string_­view​::​const_­iterator as well.
constexpr const_iterator begin() const noexcept; constexpr const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept;
Returns: An iterator such that
  • if !empty(), addressof(*begin()) == data_­,
  • otherwise, an unspecified value such that [begin(), end()) is a valid range.
constexpr const_iterator end() const noexcept; constexpr const_iterator cend() const noexcept;
Returns: begin() + size().
constexpr const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept;
Returns: const_­reverse_­iterator(end()).
constexpr const_reverse_iterator rend() const noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator crend() const noexcept;
Returns: const_­reverse_­iterator(begin()).
