 Yes, I think this is not really an improvement.

 In C++17, we got a constexpr char_traits::length, specifically to solve
 this problem.
 People can do that with `boost::string_view` as well (define their own
 `traits` class, with a constexpr `length` call).

 Closing this as "wont fix" (even though it's not a bug, but a feature
 request)
