As long as iterator_range uses the begin()/end() protocol and string_ref has the corresponding member functions it should work without any special constructors/operators, shouldn't it?
Yes, but constructing string_ref from iterator_range requires additional constructor.
string_ref could probably use the same protocol with the restriction for iterator type being a pointer. Random access is not enough because a contiguous array of characters is needed.
