Error with MSVC when a 'size_type' is smaller then 'size_t'

[Link1J]

If the size_type of a container is smaller then size_t, MSVC will report range/v3/view/zip_with.hpp(359): error C2397: conversion from 'size_t' to 'size_type' requires a narrowing conversion on the following lines. https://github.com/ericniebler/range-v3/blob/3a0881685803c659eba945788f9fe81acfe51c8a/include/range/v3/view/zip_with.hpp#L362-L363 I only know of this happening when a ranges::views::zip is passed into another ranges function like ranges::views::transform or ranges::to. It does not happen used in a range-based for loop.

This is a very problematic error when working with C++/WinRT, as it uses uint32_t as size_type for all of it's containers.

A workaround I have found is to add something to the ranges::views::zip that uses the right size_type, like ranges::views::iota(1).

Notes:

MSVC reports the error on line 359, but the problematic code isn't there. I don't know why MSVC does that.

Changing C++/WinRT to use size_t over uint32_t is impossible, as C++/WinRT needs to match the Windows ABI.
