Apropos this StackOverflow item - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/874052/properties-file-library-for-c-or-c - is there a major reason why platformstl::properties_file uses basic_string_view, rather than basic_string? My reasons are given in that post.

Is it possible to change it so that std::string is the default, and string_view can be had by specialisation?

Not a bad point. I'll add it to the list

Thanks

P.S. May I ask how you came to hear about STLSoft, and what you're using it for?
