It may not be immediately obvious if these two functions modify the given ranges or return a view over them. We have seen downstream code that mistakenly assumed the given range would be mutated.

Add the `[[nodiscard]]` attribute to prevent these errors. Also clarify the lack of mutation in the documentation comments.
