Since as_literal is used quite some time already, I don't see any compelling reason to rename it. I agree as_literal can't be renamed. Now we have to look for a new name? `SIZE(as_???("ab\0c")) == 4`

as_??? returns in constant time. I don't find the name yet. :-)

I'm not sure if this case is important enough to get special as_XXX threatment.

IMHO if you need nulls inside a string, you should use std::string or just a plain array. literal with null is dangerous at least.

\0 is not so important in this case. iterator_range r = as_literal("million characters which contains no null..."); incurs significant overhead even if you know the string contains no null. Regards, -- Shunsuke Sogame
