It could do, but it affects string_view equally.

I suppose we could say that the current values for constexpr_string and
constexpr_string_view also assume support for constexpr in char_traits, so
that implementations should not define the latest values until they've done
the char_traits parts.

So we'd have three possible values for constexpr_string, 201611 for P0436,
201811 for P1032, and 201907 for P0980 (which is already there). And two
values for constexpr_string_view, 201611 for P0436 and 201811 for P1032
(which is already there).

I can send a pull request to do that if you like.
