+guarantee. This is intended to be a drop in replacement for `std::string`.
+All the operations for `fixed_string` work when the source is within the string itself. 
+
+The API of `fixed_string` only diverges from `std::string` in few places,
+being `substr` for which this implementation returns a string view instead of `fixed_string,
+and certain functions that will never throw are marked as `noexcept`, which diverges from
+those of `std::string`. Every function that is in the C++20 specification of `std::string` is
+present in this implementation, with the only difference being the lack of `constexpr`
+for the time being. The avaliable overloads for `fixed_string` are identical to those
+of `std::string`, except for `operator+` which is explicitly deleted as no reasonable implementation
+would be possible, due to the difficulty in determining the size of the resulting `fixed_string`.
