Would this be OK?

    template <std::size_t N>
    class static_string
    {
        mutable char buf_[N+1];
    public:
        ...
        char const*
        c_str() const noexcept
        {
            buf_[size()] = '\0';
            return buf_;
        }
    };

Or we could just leave it the way that it is, and pay for keeping the
string null terminated at all times, that's not so bad really.
