You seem to be utterly convinced of the superior performance of your proposal without having done any measurements.

For my part, superior performance isn't the main reason for considering string views. Rather it's the simplification that would result from replacing the current ad-hoc set of optional start-stop arguments with a single easy-to-remember idiom.

What are your thoughts on that aspect?
