C++ already does that for short strings

I've already been discussing this. Maybe read the rest of the thread.

Also the case in the standard library

I think you're missing the point of why. I built this to be a nearly drop in replacement for the standard string. If this wasn't the case it would need to do even more processing and work to pass the strings to anything.

discontinued because it was against the standard.

Standards don't matter for an internal type that's not exposed to public APIs. I'm not trying to be exactly compatible with everything under the sun. There's no undefined behavior here so it's fine
