   - *Rationale*: Easier to understand what is happening, thus easier to spot mistakes, even for those

+- Use `Span` as function argument when it can operate on any range-like container.

+  - *Rationale*: Compared to `Foo(const vector<int>&)` this avoids the need for a (potentially expensive)
+    conversion to vector if the caller happens to have the input stored in another type of container.
+    However, be aware of the pitfalls documented in [span.h](../src/span.h).

+void Foo(Span<const int> data);

+std::vector<int> vec{1,2,3};
+Foo(vec);

 - Prefer `enum class` (scoped enumerations) over `enum` (traditional enumerations) where possible.
 
   - *Rationale*: Scoped enumerations avoid two potential pitfalls/problems with traditional C++ enumerations: implicit conversions to `int`, and name clashes due to enumerators being exported to the surrounding scope.
