Wow! Thanks guys.
Those are handy, but I specifically want to do something like:

```
string_view sv = "some string";
```
So I can query it's size, make it point to sth else, use it in 
callbacks etc. Of course I'm aware of scoping etc...

I'm NOT doing any dynamic allocations, I just want a situation 
where a string allocation string would be a little bit expensive.

with sth better, enjoying my ride so far]
