Comment:
A string_re refers to a contiguous sequence of characters.
An iterator_range is not contiguous.
Nor is, in general, a pair of iterators.
The contents of a `vector<char>` are, but you can make a string_ref easily
thus: `string_ref sr(&*v.begin(), v.size());`
I don't see a compelling need here. If you have examples, (things that you
want to do that are awkward/impossible w/o these constructors) please tell
me about them.
