Looks like string_ref is really close to what I was asking for; I'm going to see if I can rework that gist with string_ref.

Gist updated to use boost::string_ref: https://gist.github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/7b67968bd93fbd4f9dbb

So string_ref took over the place of the string_chain_segment that I had before.

Now the question remains... is there something that already exists that provides a string_view from a vector of string_ref's?

Range with http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/uti... could help.

As near as I can tell, string_view is a class defined in namespace std that provides a string-like interface over a single char* string. I'm looking to provide an abstraction over a vector.

I can, of course, code one myself, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel....

Thanks to Jan Herrmann for the pointer to string_ref.
