// NOTE: This is equivalent to the previous implementation with detail::points_view.
//       Technically this should not be called a view because it owns the elements.
//       It's also not a borrowed_range because of dangling iterators after the
//       destruction.
//       It's a container or more specifically a linestring of some sort, e.g. static_linestring.
// NOTE: It would be possible to implement a borrowed_range or a view.
//       The iterators would have to store copies of points.
//       Another possibility is to store the original Segment or reference/pointer
//       to Segment and index. But then the reference would be the value type
//       so technically they would be InputIterators not RandomAccessIterators.

\brief Makes a segment behave like a linestring or a range
\details Adapts a segment to the Boost.Range concept, enabling the user to
    iterate the two segment points. The segment_view is registered as a LineString Concept
