Would be nice for the new boost::basic_string_view as well.

The C++17 solution to this is to add a conversion operator std::basic_string::operator std::basic_string_view(). I think, it would make sense to follow the same approach in Boost.Container. I'm adding Ion here by reassigning the ticket, let's see what he thinks.

Proposed https://github.com/boostorg/container/pull/44 for a start.
