/** A function parameter which efficiently converts to string.

    This is used as a function parameter type to allow callers
    notational convenience: objects other than strings may be
    passed in contexts where a string is expected. The conversion
    to string is made using `operator<<` to a non-dynamically
    allocated static buffer if possible, else to a `std::string`
    on overflow.

    To use it, modify your function signature to accept
    `string_param` and then extract the string inside the
    function:
    @code
    void print(string_param s)
    {
        std::cout << s.str();
    }
    @endcode

    /** Constructor

        This function constructs a string as if by concatenating
        the result of streaming each argument in order into an
        output stream. It is used as a notational convenience
        at call sites which expect a parameter with the semantics
        of a @ref string_view.

        The implementation uses a small, internal static buffer
        to avoid memory allocations especially for the case where
        the list of arguments to be converted consists of a single
        integral type.

        @param args One or more arguments to convert

    /// Implicit conversion to @ref string_view
    operator string_view const() const
    {
