A StringRef is a _non-owning view_ into a string. When we see one of those, 
that means the author of the code is making a few promises:
1. They don't need to mutate the string
2. They don't need to extend its lifetime past "the current" context.

Conversely, when the author conjures a `std::string` out of `StringRef`, the 
author is saying that they intend to break one of those promises. Note that 
your code doesn't need to, with the exception `searchable_message`: we had to 
modify the string with "to_lower"!
