There seems to be a lot of disagreement on handling overflow so I'd
like to remind everyone of why this library is being proposed:

A Beast user asked "Why isn't beast::static_string in a separate Boost
library? It is quite useful on its own."

They did not ask to have the treatment of overflow changed, to have
the sizeof the class optimized for various N, or to have any of the
API changed at all. Make of this what you will.
