StringZilla currently passes ASAN check, unit tests, and fuzzy tests across several programming languages for MacOS, Linux, and Windows on every PR. This, however, is not the same as taking a mature 20yo codebase and replacing all inclusions of std::string and std::string_view with sz::string and sz::string_view. On one side, it may make the target project noticeably faster. On the other side, it will help polish the rough corners, where we may not yet entirely match the C++ standard.

If replacing the C++ namespace is too hard (requires recompiling after all), one can use LibSee to swap the LibC symbols and profile their usage 🤗
