I am interested, but don't have time to examine it in detail now.

I have a few comments and questions:

1. You might mention Java together with Python as a language with immutable
built-in strings.
2. I don't understand the following statement:

    Unlike std::basic_string<>, empty string object references empty c-style
string "".

3. What are the semantics of

    std::string str("abc");
    h(boost::cref(str));

Best Regards,
