text_view and
code_point_sequence shouldn't take encoding schemes as template

horrible as std::basic_string in its design.

Also, for clarity, I'll mention again that that all encoding schemes without BOM fit the definition of encoding forms.
Anything that supports encoding forms will implicitly support BOM-less encoding schemes. It seems arbitrary to me
to support encoding forms *except for a few select ones*.
