The standard is very underspecified in what kind of cache is necessary here. I just checked, and range-v3 and cmcstl2 disagree on what kind of cache is necessary: range-v3 uses a non-propagating cache; cmcstl2 switches between a non-propagating cache and a simple cache, depending on whether or not we have a //`forwarding-range`// (which I think is now `borrowed_range`).
I'm inclined to support Tim's opinion here, because it's simpler, and doesn't need to introduce a `__cached_position` type that's dependent on `__non_propagating_cache`. Any opinions @CaseyCarter?
