AIU, basic_cstring is akin to boost::iterator_range with some additional member functions.

The proposed const_string is essentually a std::basic_string<> without mutating member functions (insert, erase, replace). It also supports reference semantics like the basic_cstring does, i.e. to hold a reference to an existing string rather than allocating and copying.
