[section Overview]

Boost.StringView is an implementation of Jeffrey Yaskin's [@http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3442.html N3442:
string_view: a non-owning reference to a string].
Boost.StringView is an implementation of `string_view` as specified in [@

When you are parsing/processing strings from some external source, frequently you want to pass a piece of text to a procedure for specialized processing. The canonical way to do this is as a `std::string`, but that has certain drawbacks:

Because a `string_view` does not own the data that it "points to", it introduces lifetime issues into code that uses it. The programmer must ensure that the data that a `string_view` refers to exists as long as the `string_view` does.
Note: The header actually contains a class template, `basic_string_view` and four typedefs:
template<class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>>
class basic_string_view;
typedef basic_string_view<char> string_view;
typedef basic_string_view<char16_t> u16string_view;
typedef basic_string_view<char32_t> u32string_view;
typedef basic_string_view<wchar_t> wstring_view;
So you can have views of strings of any of the four built-in character types as well as strings of user-defined character-like type strings. For the sake of simple exposition, we concentrate on `string_view` (i.e. `char` strings) in this documentation.
