Description
`std::span` constructors 2 and 3 of [cppreference.com documentation](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/span/span) support generic iterators, while `boost::span` accepts only pointers. A possible workaround is to apply the operators `&*` to the iterators.

```c++
#include
#include
#include
void foo(const std::vector& v) {
const auto std_span = std::span(v.begin(), v.end()); // fine
// const auto boost_span = boost::span(v.begin(), v.end()); // broken
const auto boost_span = boost::span(&*v.begin(), &*v.end()); // fine with hack
}
```
