### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We want to implement a CUDA backend for the following algorithms:
* `std::iota` see https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/iota.html
NOTE: This is not a standard parallelized algorithm, but it is one of the more useful ones, so we want to provide it as an extension
### Describe the solution you'd like
It should reuse the CUB copy backend
