// In the process of optimizing the performance of model loading, we found
// that it was necessary to reduce the copying and construction of STL
// containers. So use VectorView to simulate the operation of STL containers
// without copying, such as iteration and subscripting.
//
// Currently, VectorView is applicable to STL vector and Flatbuffers Vector.
// We used the template Traits to unify the behavior of the two, and provided
// an implicit conversion operator from VectorView to STL vector. Please use
// implicit conversion with caution because it will bring significant overhead.
