Re: [boost] Interest in super string class?

So if we add the suggested super string then PLEASE do not name it 'string', but 'string_builder' or 'string_buffer' in order to emphasize on the in-place modification aspect in the name. Of course, there should be a complement to string_builder: immutable_string. (ISTR there was a proposal for that, already).

One posibility is to use Boost.Const String (should be sitting somewhere in review queue) so that: super_string<char, std::basic_string<char> > would provide mutable interface and super_string<char, boost::const_string<char> > would be limited to immutable operations. The const_string variant may also avoid the basic_string overhead. /Pavel
