Comment:

 As I mentioned on the mailing list, unless we can select an optimized
 runtime versions of the algorithms provided by `char_traits` based on
 `constexpr`-ness of their arguments (or better yet until `char_traits`
 does that), `constexpr` versions of `string_view` operations or
 constructors are not feasible. I don't think sacrificing runtime
 performance is an acceptable solution.

 Assigning the ticket to Marshall Clow.
