    [[Pipe] [`rng | boost::adaptors::strided(n)`]]
    [[Function] [`boost::adaptors::stride(rng, n)`]]
]

* [*Precondition:] `0 <= n && n < distance(rng)`
* [*Returns:] A new range based on `rng` where traversal is performed in steps of `n`.
* [*Range Category:] __random_access_range__
* [*Returned Range Category:] __random_access_range__
