Hi,

As we will be landing patches for extends, this will become a separate
patch series.
I would prefer, if you could commit per layout, and start with layout_right
(default)
I try to provide prompt responses, so if that works better for you, you can
post a patch
only with this layout first, as most of the comments will apply to all of
them.

For the general design we have constructors that allow conversion between
rank-0
and rank-1 layouts left and right. This is done because they essentially
represents
the same layout. I think we could benefit from that in code by having a
base classes
for rank0 and rank1 mapping:
template<typename _Extents>
_Rank0_mapping_base
{
    static_assert(_Extents::rank() == 0);

    template<OtherExtents>
    // explicit, requires goes here
    _Rank0_mapping_base(_Rank0_mapping_base<OtherExtents>);

     // All members layout_type goes her
};

template<typename _Extents>
_Rank1_mapping_base
{
    static_assert(_Extents::rank() == 1);
   // Static assert for product is much simpler here, as we need to check one

    template<OtherExtents>
    // explicit, requires goes here
    _Rank1_mapping_base(_Rank1_mapping_base<OtherExtents>);

   // Call operator can also be simplified
   index_type operator()(index_type i) const // conversion happens at user
side

   // cosntructor from strided_layout of Rank1 goes here.

     // All members layout_type goes her
};
Then we will specialize layout_left/right/stride to use _Rank0_mapping_base
as a base for rank() == 0
and layout_left/right to use _Rank1_mapping as base for rank()1;
template<typename T, unsigned... Ids>
struct extents {};

struct layout
{
template<typename Extends>
struct mapping
{
// static assert that Extents mmyst be specialization of _Extents goes here.
}
};

template<typename _IndexType>
struct layout::mapping<extents<_IndexType>>
: _Rank0_mapping_base<extents<_IndexType>>
{
using layout_type = layout_left;
// Provides converting constructor.
using _Rank0_mapping_base<extents<_IndexType>>::_Rank0_mapping_base;
// This one is implicit;
mapping(_Rank0_mapping_base<extents<_IndexType>> const&);
};

template<typename _IndexType, unsigned _Ext>
struct layout::mapping<extents<_IndexType, _Ext>>
: _Rank1_mapping_base<extents<_IndexType>>

{
using layout_type = layout_left;
// Provides converting constructor.
using _Rank0_mapping_base<extents<_IndexType>>::_Rank0_mapping_base;
// This one is implicit, allows construction from layout_right
mapping(_Rank1_mapping_base<extents<_IndexType>> const&);
};
};

template<typename _IndexType, unsigned... _Ext>

struct layout::mapping<extents<_IndexType, _Ext>>

The last one is a generic implementation that you can use in yours.
Please also include a comment explaining that we are deviating from
standard text here.

As we are inside the standard library implementation, we can do some tricks
here,
and provide two functions:
// Returns the std::span(_ExtentsStorage::_Ext).substr(f, l);
// For extents forward to __static_exts
span<typename Extends::index_type> __static_exts(size_t f, size_t l);
// Returns the
std::span(_ExtentsStorage::_M_dynamic_extents).substr(_S_dynamic_index[f],
_S_dynamic_index[l);
span<typename Extends::index_type> __dynamic_exts(Extents const& c);
Then you can befriend this function both to extents and _ExtentsStorage.
Also add index_type members to _ExtentsStorage.

Then instead of having fwd-prod and rev-prod I would have:
template<typename _Extents>
consteval size_t __static_ext_prod(size_t f, size_t l)
{
   // multiply E != dynamic_ext from __static_exts
}
constexpr size __ext_prod(const _Extents& __exts, size_t f, size_t l)
{
    // multiply __static_ext_prod<_Extents>(f, l) and each elements of
__dynamic_exts(__exts, f, l);
}

Then fwd-prod(e, n) would be __ext_prod(e, 0, n), and rev_prod(e, n) would
be __ext_prod(e, __ext.rank() -n, n, __ext.rank())

This makes a lot of sense (and I'd briefly thought of it before forgetting
again before submission).

This can be eliminated by fold expressions, see below.

+
+    template<typename _IndexType, typename _Tp, size_t _Nm>
+      consteval bool
+      __is_representable_product(array<_Tp, _Nm> __factors)

+         if (__factors[__i] == 0)
+           return true;
+         __rest /= _IndexType(__factors[__i]);
+       }
+       return __rest > 0;
+      }

I would replace that with
template<IndexType>
consteval size_t __div_reminder(span<const size_t, _Nm> __factors, size_t
__val)
{
      size_t __rest = val;
      for(size_t __i = 0; __i < _Nm; ++__i)
      {
        if (__factors[__i] == dynamic_extent)
          continue;
        if (__factors[__i] != 0)
           return val;
         __rest /= _IndexType(__factors[__i]);
        if (__res == 0)
          return 0;
      }
     return __rest;
}

We can express the is presentable check as
static constexpr __dyn_reminder = __div_reminder(__static_exts<Extents>(0,
rank()), std::numeric_limits<Index>::max());
static_assert(__dyn_reminder > 0);
However, with __dyn_reminder value, the precondition
https://eel.is/c++draft/mdspan.layout#left.cons-1,
can be checked by doing equivalent of __div_remainder for __dyn_extents
with __val being __dyn_reminder.

Yes, I partially "prepared" the function to require only a few changes
if we chose to implement checking of the preconditions. (But then didn't
add the checks, because similar checks weren't requested for std::extents.
Hence, I assumed we'd add them in a second round of polishing.)

I think it makes sense to add them now.

(BTW, remainder is (N % n) and the quotient is (N / n). Which is something
that annoyed me when looking for names; and why ultimately I settled on
__is_representable_prod. Somehow, __div_prod feels awkward. Which didn't
seem so bad because the function had a very specific purpose and wasn't a
generic mathematical operation.)

This could be even simpler and written as (use for layout stride):

return (index_type(0) + ... + __indices * stride(__pos++));
Here, I prefer to avoid multiplying multiple times.
