Defines the extent value to be used by all `gsl::span` with dynamic extent. Defines the extent value to be used by all `gsl::span` with dynamic extent.
Note: `std::dynamic_extent` is exposed by the STL `<span>` header and so ideally `gsl::dynamic_extent` would be under [`<gsl/span>`](#user-content-H-span), but to avoid cyclic dependency issues it is under `<span_ext>` instead.
