Recent postings showed interest in an immutable string facility [*]. Its interface and implementation has now reached a stable state (I hope).
I am formally requesting that const_string be added to the review queue.
Have you already gone through all the steps of http://www.boost.org/more/submission_process.htm?
Not quite:
Determine interest - I think the interst was determined: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/2180929
Preliminary submission - I'm not sure if the file section on Yahoo is alive, so I hosted it on SourceForge and made it available since the aforementioned posting.
Refinement - I'm not sure about this step, since the library does not introduce new concepts, rather fills an existing gap. It also has been reported to work with existing code replacing std::basic_string<> with little effort.
So..?
I think that the only thing that stands between you and a formal submission is the missing formal specification of const_string.
