Subject: std::basic_ostream operator<< overload for FixedString
X-Git-Tag: v2017.07.31.00~17

std::basic_ostream operator<< overload for FixedString

Summary:
When attempting to output a FixedString into eg. glog or
some other ostream, it is first being implicitly converted to StringPiece
and then that is printed using the overloaded operator<<. If another
suitable implicit conversion is provided, eg. to `dynamic`, compilers
cannot choose between either one. Instead, overload operator<< directly
on FixedString to resolve the ambiguity.
