The only real concern I have here is with the name But the leads have resolved #5969 to give us a set of names now -- could you update the proposal to capture the decision and some of the rationale? Let me know if the rationale in the issue doesn't make sense and happy to help there. |

This proposal defines a direct, zero-cost mapping between C++'s
std::string_viewand Carbon'sCore.Strfor C++ interoperability.The goal is to make C++ APIs that use
std::string_viewfeel native and seamless when used from Carbon.This mapping relies on the two types having an identical memory representation, a condition that we will work to ensure across all supported platforms.
