Description

When looking at https://github.com/ORNL/cpp-proposals-pub/tree/master/P0009 directory it is not obvious that the reference implementation there is no longer the one to use but https://github.com/kokkos/mdspan instead.
Yes, this is described in the paper but it should be made clearer with a contextual front-matter.
