That’s a good question (and one of the reasons I was reluctant to make the vector->span change at first).

An implementation is of course free to recompute the array if it needs to. However, if the array “leaks” outside constant-evaluation, it is likely to be made persistent, but doesn’t leak.

I don’t expect span<info> objects to typically “leak”, but the “string_view” objects yes.

Oops — that’s a bug. It should be 9.

Correct.

Yes, that would make sense. I’ll check what others think, but it could probably help avoid confusion.
