Me neither. In section 6.1 I don't quite understand how: "there can not be
an inheritance relation between the two" follows from "in particular it is
not well-formed to use string_view's operator= to assign a
non-null-terminated string_view to a zstring_view". If we use inheritance,
assigning a zstring_view from a string_view doesn't compile anyway when we
default operator=. I'm not seeing the problem here.

There may be other reasons not to use inheritance, but this doesn't seem
like one of them.
