Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the boost::string_view implementation and any existing conversion-related tests, then compare the requested conversion with the precedent of boost::system::error_code to determine the intended scope. Done means the project has an agreed conversion design and corresponding validation.

Description

Hello,

Since system has added automatic conversion from boost::system::error_code to std::error_code I was guessing if there are plans to do the same from boost::string_view to std::string_view which could be very handy.
