Is there some reason why you consider operator+= insufficient for that 
purpose?

Perhaps this needs to be stated more clearly in the docs, but the 
impression I get is that the primary intended usage is something like:

     fixed_string<512> buffer;    // some arbitrarily large N
     buffer += prefix;
     buffer += suffix;
     consume(buffer);
