Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4849.

  1. Modify [range.refinements] as indicated:

    -4- The viewable_range concept specifies the requirements of a range type that can be converted to a view safely.

    template<class T>
      concept viewable_range =
        range<T> && (safe_range<T> || view<decay_tremove_cvref_t<T>>);

[ 2020-02-06 Casey provides a corrected P/R ]

... in response to Jonathan's observation that remove_cvref<T> is both the wrong type and not what the discussion argues for.

Previous resolution [SUPERSEDED]:

This wording is relative to N4842.

  1. Modify [range.refinements] as indicated:

    -4- The viewable_range concept specifies the requirements of a range type that can be converted to a view safely.

    template<class T>
      concept viewable_range =
        range<T> && (safe_range<T> || view<decay_tremove_cvref<T>>);
    
Date: 2020-01-14.00:00:00

The viewable_range concept is defined in [range.refinements] as:

template<class T>
  concept viewable_range =
    range<T> && (safe_range<T> || view<decay_t<T>>);

Since neither pointer types, array types, nor function types model view, view<decay_t<T>> here could simplified to view<remove_cvref_t<T>>. The use of decay_t is an artifact of the Ranges TS being based on C++14 which didn't have remove_cvref_t. [Note that the proposed change is not purely editorial since the difference is observable to subsumption.]
