I have been a consistent and staunch supporter of "tools as opposed to
dogma" as far as the committee's output is concerned,
and I've seen little reason to change my preference/guidance there.
The committee has a strikingly biased representation
of programming communities, and there's nothing new in that.
If someone wrote a paper for span::at, and explained away all the "excuses" for not having it (ie header dependencies, etc), I might vote for it.
Consistency is a strong argument for any API decision.
Or maybe it was discussed and voted already and best not to rehash?
