I guess when I read the impl I think to myself: What this is missing is a _length member. But then it just becomes boost::string_view.

What value added is there to this impl except that it is smaller than boost::string_view due to lacking a _length member?

If you’re careful and don’t do much with it, it can hand you back a null terminated string. — Marshall PS. I note that P1402 (the paper proposing cstring_view for the standard) was was reviewed by LEWG in 2019, and the resolution of that group was "We will not pursue P1402R0 or this problem space”
