This may be very dangerous. The string_view would not own the memory.
Therefore, if you have a C++ function that accepts string_view, and stores the string_view for a future use, then that may cause a segmentation fault. As far as I know Wren only guarantees that the raw bytes of that slot (string) is valid only during the call of the C++ function. The garbage collection may run after calling the function and the string_view points to an unknown memory.
This is fine the other way around. Wren makes a copy of the string/string_view you give it.
I am fine with accepting the risk, but could you update the documentation here? -> https://github.com/matusnovak/wrenbind17/blob/master/docs/content/Tutorial/types.md Maybe adding some section explaining this danger. I don't mind the exact paragraphs, I can leave that to you. Plus a brief comment on this line that yes it is a risk.

Sorry for the late response, but i got distracted with other projects and completly forgot about this PR, until i checked out my old project.
I can update the paragraph, but i think
std::string_view
does never own memory does it?So the risk should probably be known to the user.
