Is this not fixable by adding a std::string_view conversion operator to boost::string_view?

Yes it is. Marshall is opposed to adding implicit conversions - from, or to, std::string_view - to boost::string_view. I understand this stance of his because implicit conversions are kind of a pain and a maintenance burden because new ambiguities will very likely keep popping up and need to be squashed. But what needs to be done, needs to be done.
