The *only* reason for using ConstString is using less memory for duplicate strings and being fast to compare against other ConstStrings. So if we add an overload for comparing against StringRef then code like this will look really innocent even though it essentially goes against the idea of ConstString. Either both string lists are using ConstString or neither does (which I would prefer). But having a list of normal strings and comparing it against ConstStrings usually means that the design is kinda flawed. Then we have both normal string comparisons but also the whole overhead of ConstString.

Hmm, you're totally right, I must be confusing this with something else then.
