 *
 * A `blender::IndexRange` wraps an interval of non-negative integers. It can be used to reference
 * consecutive elements in an array. Furthermore, it can make for loops more convenient and less
 * error prone, especially when using nested loops.
 *
 * I'd argue that the second loop is more readable and less error prone than the first one. That is
 * not necessarily always the case, but often it is.
 *
 *  for (int64_t i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
 *    for (int64_t j = 0; j < 20; j++) {
 *       for (int64_t k = 0; k < 30; k++) {
 *
 *  for (int64_t i : IndexRange(10)) {
 *    for (int64_t j : IndexRange(20)) {
 *      for (int64_t k : IndexRange(30)) {
 *
 * Some containers like blender::Vector have an index_range() method. This will return the
 * IndexRange that contains all indices that can be used to access the container. This is
 * particularly useful when you want to iterate over the indices and the elements (much like
 * Python's enumerate(), just worse). Again, I think the second example here is better:
 *
 *  for (int64_t i = 0; i < my_vector_with_a_long_name.size(); i++) {
 *    do_something(i, my_vector_with_a_long_name[i]);
 *
 *  for (int64_t i : my_vector_with_a_long_name.index_range()) {
 *    do_something(i, my_vector_with_a_long_name[i]);
 *
 * Ideally this could be could be even closer to Python's enumerate(). We might get that in the
 * future with newer C++ versions.
 *
 * One other important feature is the as_span method. This method returns an Span<int64_t>
 * that contains the interval as individual numbers.
