While they are indeed stored +contiguously in memory, they are not part of an array and, as a +consequence, C++ does not actually allow this kind of access. The +functions have therefore been deprecated and will be removed in due +time. +
+As a consequence, the `make_array_view()` functions that allow turning +a Tensor or SymmetricTensor into an ArrayView object have now also +been deprecated. +
