[llvm-dev] RFC: Constructing StringRefs at compile time

[Yaron Keren via llvm-dev]

Basic LLVM data structures are frequently used without the llvm namespace
prefix, either due to 'using namespace llvm' or from Basic/LLVM.h where we
have 'using llvm::StringRef;' and would probably want 'using
llvm::StringLiteral;'.
Better avoid the name clash.
ConstStringRef? StaticStringRef?
