I am working on it now. It is available in the sandbox 
(boost/fixed_string/detail/basic_string_impl.hpp) along with an experimental 
implementation of fixed_string (boost/fixed_string/fixed_string.hpp). Note 
that the current implementation is still available as char_string.hpp.

Comments and feedback are always welcome.

NOTE: This is still very much a work-in-progress.

Regards,
Reece
