On second thought, I would like to change the above signature into:

Taking the argument by const-reference does not pose a problem for the vacpp compiler and AFAICT it's even better to take a const-reference as copying the argument by value.

No. sizeof(basic_cstring<>) is in most cases 8. I prefer to pass it by value.
