I have just removed boost::basic_string_ref from the develop branch, and updated the specializations to use basic_string_view.
I am against this decision. I am using basic_string_ref<> quite heavily in several projects that have work with Boost 1.55 and newer.

This [1] http://tinyurl.com/jnmb6w4 shows that boost::basic_string_ref is in use in more than few projects. Glen [1] Full URL: https://github.com/search?p=5&q=boost+basic_string_ref+-filename%3Astring_ref.hpp+%2Bextension%3Ah+%2Bextension%3Ahpp&ref=searchresults&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Tell people you're going to change something, and everyone yawns. Actually change it, and boom! Anyway, I've been persuaded that replacing w/o a transition period is not the best way to go. K-ballo showed me that there are a lot more uses than I thought: https://github.com/search?l=cpp&q=%22boost%3A%3Abasic_string_ref%22&ref=searchresults&type=Code&utf8=✓ <https://github.com/search?l=cpp&q=%22boost%3A%3Abasic_string_ref%22&ref=searchresults&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93> So, I will restore basic_string_ref for to the 1.61 and 1.62 releases, and plan on remove it for 1.63. -- Marshall

Just to be clear, this means that 1.61 (and later) will have
basic_string_view. -- Marshall
