### 3322. Add `join_view::base()` member function

`join_view` is missing a `base()` member for returning the underlying view. All the other range adaptors provide this.

Proposed change:

To the `join_view` class template add the member:

>     constexpr V base() const { return base_; }

Jonathan Wakely:

The NB comment says "`join_view` is missing a `base()` member for returning the underlying view. All the other range adaptors provide this."

In fact, `split_view` and `istream_view` do not provide `base()` either. Of the views that do define `base()`, all except `all_view` do so out-of-line, so the proposed resolution adds it out-of-line too.

This issue has been resolved by P1456R1 "Move-only views", which added no less than two member functions named "base" to `join_view`.
