 I see. Using boost::string_ref in that way (local variable) would raise a
big red flag for us. So i understand that the change does add some safety,
but it also breaks usages that are completely fine. We 'solved' the safety
issue with a really simple rule (only use boost::string_ref as function
parameters).
