The special `const_`-named functions are useful when you want to document clearly that your code is read-only.
`as_literal()` can be used ['*internally*] in string algorithm libraries such that arrays of characters are handled correctly.
`as_array()` can be used with string algorithm libraries to make it clear that arrays of characters are handled like an array and not like a string.
Notice that the above functions should always be called with qualification (`boost::`) to prevent ['*unintended*] Argument Dependent Lookup (ADL).
