Convertible from both, string literals and std::strings, and provide only one overload that accepts it everywhere.

Doesn't iterator_range treat literals as arrays by default? The str_ref idea is great, but IMO iterator_range isn't suitable for it. Also, doesn't iterator_range require memory allocations itself? Olaf
