Which they are not, as boost::core::string_view doesn't support char_traits. So it looks like a non-starter to me.

Do you really need or support traits other than std::char_traits<Ch>? Why and where?

It's not that I need it. It's that std::basic_string(_view) are defined this way (for better or worse), and for our string_view to properly emulate and inperoperate with std::string_view, it should have it as well. You're not winning anything by not supporting it either as you're using std::char_traits internally anyway.
