constexpr boost::static_strings::basic_static_string s( "name" ); fails to compile (under C++20): https://godbolt.org/z/fvPs3rxa7
Background: in order to write functions that take strings as template arguments, as in function<"string">(), one needs to declare the template parameter a static string, because neither char const* nor std::string_view work.
To avoid needless reinvention of static strings, ours should (probably) be useful in this role. But it isn't, for at least the reason above.
