Just wanted to mention here, that I've used const_string as a plug in
replacement for std::string for my Wave library and succeeded without any
further problems. Moreover, the const_string class gave a perfomance boost
of about 20% if compared to the flex_string and about 100% if compared to
the std::string (I can provide the concrete numbers, if somebody is
interested). But these numbers certainly very specific to Wave and its
applications.
