Which is one instruction too much for tail-call optimisation, e.g.

But the point was about std::string_view binary compatibility. As basically a 
C struct with no ownership semantics, it would be a perfect vehicle to pass 
strings around different programming languages and compilers, but only if the 
ABI (ie. the data members) were specified.
