Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4868.

Modify [range.drop.while.view] as indicated:

Since we usually don't rely on implicit bool conversion in Preconditions: elements an explicit "is true" has been added. Editorial fixes of the referenced paragraph [range.drop.while.view] p3 and similar places have been requested separately.
```
constexpr auto begin();
```
-?- Preconditions: pred_.has_value() is true.
-3- Returns: ranges::find_if_not(base_, cref(*pred_)).
-4- […]

Similar to ranges::filter_view [range.filter.view] p3, ranges::drop_while_view should have a precondition on its begin() method that the predicate is set.

I propose to add as [range.drop.while.view] p3:

Preconditions: pred_.has_value().
