When I get some free time - maybe over the holidays, I'll be taking a long look at Boost.Algorirthm's string algorithm section, and seeing what I can do to make them work with string_ref. They're very general algorithms; I wonder how many people actually call them with anything other that std::string (and other specializations of std::basic_string)
I do not use these algorithms presently, but I have my own equivalent of string_ref for a suite of parsers that works on both textual and binary formats, and I would like to change that to use string_ref. Because I am parsing, I do not really need the mutable algorithms, but the rest are useful to me. Apropos string_ref, I would like to see lexical_cast extended to support a Range concept.
