It's not that I need it. It's that std::basic_string(_view) are defined
this way (for better or worse), and for our string_view to properly
emulate and inperoperate with std::string_view, it should have it as well.

You're not winning anything by not supporting it either as you're using
std::char_traits internally anyway.
