Is there a identity_view?

Hi. I need a simple wrapper that doesn't have any side effects on the wrapped sequence. Does this library support it? Or is there a shortest way to implement it? To implement >20 tag dispatched functions - is not a short way:(
What do i mean..
For example:
vector<int, std::string> v(12, "Hello world");
identity_view<vector<int, float>> view(v);
std::cout << at_c<0>(view) << std::endl; // Will print 12
std::cout << at_c<1>(view) << std::endl; // Will print Hello world
It's just example for a vector but i expect that identity_view will work with any valid fusion sequence.
No, there is no identity_view. Would you like to contribute one?
The easiest way is to use transform_view.
Yes, transform_view is a good idea. But it's view has no at_key_impl, key_of_impl, and so others for associative sequence.
Respectively, if we get boost::fusion::map and wrap it into transform_view, then our map will lose its associative character.
Is that intended, or is this a flaw on the transform_view side?
@djowel I implemented this in a rather cheeky way 😄

It is not documented (*), but the ideal behavior would be that views should inherit the properties of its subjects. Again, PR would be great. It seems you have familiarity with fusion.

PR in process.. I started with the tests. The way I see it:

I propose to make a set of generic tests that will be check any Sequence for compliance with the Concept.
Now in the fusion, view tests are absolutely not scalable:(
My example above show already implemented test for ForwardSequence concept.
filter_view passed this test good. But the current filter_view will fail test for AssociativeSequence concept, i suppose
