        <pre>The standard says:

template<class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>,
         class Allocator = allocator<charT>>
class basic_string {
  using value_type = typename traits::char_type;
  // ...
  basic_string(const charT* s, const Allocator& a = Allocator());
};

libc++ actually chooses to declare the constructor as

  basic_string(const value_type* s, const Allocator& a = Allocator());

The implicit deduction guides from class template argument deduction make what
was previously an implementation detail visible:

std::basic_string s = "foo"; // error, can't deduce charT.

The constructor in question is in the libc++ DSO, but fortunately it looks like
fixing this will not result in an ABI break.</pre>
