--- Comment #7 from Username <i-hate-registration at mailinator dot com> --- I've heard that it was previously expected to be in C++14, though it was somehow forgotten, because the fix is quite small and one could currently do it with a little bit of preprocessor/constexpr (MPLLIBS_STRING in https://github.com/sabel83/mpllibs). Nevertheless, compile-time strings are very useful (as it's shown in D), and will be a part of standard sooner or later.
