Easy conversion to std::basic_string. There's a C++11 explicit string operator, but that isn't much good for portable code. Something like a 'string' or 'to_string' member would do the trick.
Why not make string_ref implicitly convertible when in C++03?
Because it's an expensive conversion.
But making it implicitly convertible is the closest thing there is to explicitly convertible in C++11. It seems much cleaner than polluting the interface.
