// 'to_element' is a small function object that can be presented to a
// transform algorithm, enabling iteration over the underlying
// reference instead of the Ptr (e.g.):
//
//   using lar::to_element;
//   std::vector<art::Ptr<recob::Hit>> hits = from_somewhere();
//   for (recob::Hit const& hit : hits | ranges::views::transform(to_element)) {
//     ...
//   }
