Generally speaking, we prefer to improve the existing checks. I think 
`bugprone-string-constructor` would probably be a better place for the 
constructor-related functionality. But that still means we don't have a good 
place for things like the assignment and comparison functionality, and it seems 
more useful to keep all of the `string_view`-with-`nullptr` logic in one place. 
That said, we should be careful we're not too onerous when users enable all 
`bugprone` checks together.
