Stable docs
Problem description
On this documentation page, there is no mention of std::span. However, it seems that std::span returned from a C++ function gets converted to a list in Python (which is great).
Would be even better if that was documented on this page: https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/cast/overview.html#conversion-table
It also seems that the docstring/type annotations should indicate that the return type is a list.
