Concept emulation
=================

.. code-block:: cpp

   namespace mgs {
   namespace meta {

   template <typename T>
   struct is_random_access_range { /* ... */ };

   template <typename T>
   constexpr auto is_random_access_range_v = is_random_access_range<T>::value;

Example
=======

.. code-block:: cpp

   using namespace mgs::meta;

   static_assert(is_random_access_range_v<std::string>, "");
   static_assert(is_random_access_range_v<char [2]>, "");
   static_assert(!is_random_access_range_v<std::list<char>>, "");
