A view presenting an underlying species backend as a Species.

This view is a genuine frozen Species, so it can be passed anywhere a Species is accepted. Its fields are built eagerly from the backend on construction, with full Species validation applied at that point.

unwrap() → Any

Return the most raw representation possible of this view, i.e., if it uses a backend with an internal representaion - or if it can (possibly lossly) convert itself into a more raw representation that still would be recognized as a <Something>Like type, that representation will be returned. If this is not possible, the instance itself is returned.
