This already works, you can just use
std::ranges::views::filter(&Button::enabled) (or
std::views::filter(&Button::enabled) which means the same thing).

All ranges algorithms use std::invoke to call the projection, which means
they support pointers to members already. (This is probably the main reason
that ranges code compiles slowly).
