Non-member size() and more

by Riccardo Marcangelo

Excerpt:

This is a proposal to add non-member std::size and other useful utility functions (std::empty, std::front, std::back, and std::data). The inclusion of these functions would provide benefits in regards to safety, efficiency, and generality.
