Operating in-place on a view cannot be done: a view, by definition, is 
read only. Having free functions instead of member functions, in order 
to operate on any string-like data, can be done, but they would be a 
very low level API for most users. (That doesn't mean this kind of APIs 
shouldn't be offered.)
