Sorry, I did not have a chance to follow this discussion, but how what you propose match against basic_cstring/const_string facility I ma using in Boost.Test implementation?
AIU, basic_cstring is akin to boost::iterator_range with some additional member functions. The proposed const_string is essentually a std::basic_string<> without mutating member functions (insert, erase, replace). It also supports reference semantics like the basic_cstring does, i.e. to hold a reference to an existing string rather than allocating and copying. -- Maxim Yegorushkin
