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.
So is construction from a literal (AFAIK), which isn't explicit either. Explicit is in the proposal though. -- Olaf
