The class template view_interface is a helper for defining view-like types that offer a container-like interface.
It is parameterized with the type that is derived from it.

#
The template parameter D for view_interface may be an incomplete type.
Before any member of the resulting specialization of view_interface other than special member functions is referenced, D shall be complete, and model both derived_from<view_interface<D>> and view.
