I've just blogged about this topic: http://foonathan.net/blog/2017 /03/22/string_view-temporary.html (Planned that post before this thread)

In my opinion I think `boost::string_ref` and `std::string_view` are two different things,

They're not. They were always supposed to be the same thing.

There is a lot of code out there that uses std::string_view and boost::string_ref interchangeably depending on which is available.

I'll add that boost::string_ref is supposed to be removed at some point. It's deprecated in favor of string_view (std:: or boost::).
