    \section sec_BTAS_Range Range class
    Range implements the Range TWG concept. It supports dense and strided ranges, with fixed (compile-time) and variable (run-time)
    ranks.

    \subsection sec_BTAS_Range_Synopsis Synopsis
    The following will be valid with the reference implementation of Range. This does not belong to the concept specification,
    and not all of these operations will model the concept, but it is useful for discussion; will eventually be moved elsewhere.
    @code
    // Constructors
    Range1 r0;         // empty = {}
    Range1 r1(5);      // [0,5) = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
    Range1 r2(2,4);    // [2,4) = {2, 3}
    Range1 r3(1,7,2);  // [1,7) with stride 2 = {1, 3, 5}
    assert(r3.rank() == 1);
    Range x(r2,r3);   // r1 x r2 = { {2,1}, {2,3}, {2,5}, {4,1}, {4,3}, {4,5} }
    assert(x.rank() == 2);

    // Operations
    std::cout << x.area() << std::endl;  // will print "6"

    // Iteration
    for(auto& v: r3) {
      std::cout << v << " "; // will print "1 3 5 "
    }
