Description

The basic_string_literal is a thin wrapper around a constant string literal. It provides interface similar to STL strings, but because of read-only nature of string literals, lacks ability to modify string contents. However, basic_string_literal objects can be assigned to and cleared.

The main advantage of this class comparing to other string classes is that it doesn't dynamically allocate memory and therefore is fast, thin and exception safe.
