There is a DR filed against the C++14 draft that says std::min/max etc should 
be constexpr.

Hopefully that will get resolved next month in Issaquah.

Nah. It’s easy to write a std::min replacement that is constexpr (assuming that 
operator < is constexpr).
That’s what __min in string_view is; it just would be better if it could use 
std::min.
