I do not see it as an optimization tool. As written in the first paragraph
of the paper it is intended to remove such nonsense in the future:

void open(const char *p, ios_base::openmode = ...);
void open(const std::string &p, ios_base::openmode = ...); // added in C++11

runtime_error(const char *p);
runtime_error(const std::string &p); // added in C++11

This discussion has already been raised here in the context of boost
program_options.
