The macro `STRING_VIEW` seems unnecessary because the `string_view` constructor taking a single NULL-terminated string is also `constexpr`.

While the templated constructor for basic_string_view is constexpr, this constructor for string_view cannot be used in a constexpr context because char_traits<char>::length isn't constexpr. :-( See LWG 2232 http://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/lwg-active.html#2232. I've been told it works this way by design... So yes, we do need the macro. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber > +1-847-691-1404
