Gist updated to use boost::string_ref:
<https://gist.github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/7b67968bd93fbd4f9dbb>

So string_ref took over the place of the string_chain_segment that I
had before.

Now the question remains... is there something that already exists
that provides a string_view from a vector of string_ref's?

As near as I can tell, string_view is a class defined in namespace std
that provides a string-like interface over a single char* string.  I'm
looking to provide an abstraction over a vector<string_ref>.

I can, of course, code one myself, but I'd rather not reinvent the
wheel....

Thanks to Jan Herrmann for the pointer to string_ref.
