Why not use a static_vector<char> ?

static_vector is missing all of the string-oriented algorithms.

There is a cost associated with maintaining the null termination of strings

Yeah, that's easily fixed. We can add the function fixed_capacity_string::c_str() which will put the terminator on and return a pointer, this way the mutating operations do not need to always leave the string in a null terminated state.

But then c_str() would not be "const noexcept". Best, Ion
