I see... In order to avoid to former risk ;) I would suggest the
following: let's open a Bugzilla [meta-bug] about sso_string, and let's
change the existing open PRs involving basic_string to depend on it.
Then, we can add to the audit trail of the [meta-bug] whatever we find
along the way, explored designs, red herrings, benchmarks, additional
desiderata, everything...
