-Subject: [PATCH 02/11] protoc-gen-c/compat.h: Add `compat::StringView` type
-
-protobuf >= 30.x replaces `const std::string&` in various APIs with
-its own string view type that may actually be a `absl::string_view`.
-Introduce our own `compat::StringView` type that we can use instead
-of `const std::string&` in order to support compiling across multiple
-protobuf versions.

-Subject: [PATCH 08/11] compat: Use absl::string_view instead of
- google::protobuf::internal::DescriptorStringView
-
-Even though google::protobuf::internal::DescriptorStringView is exposed
-in public protobuf headers, it's probably not a good idea to rely on an
-"internal" typedef.
-
-According to https://protobuf.dev/news/2024-10-02/#descriptor-apis:
-
-    v30 will update return types in descriptor (such as full_name) to be
-    absl::string_view.
-
-So `absl::string_view` is probably the right type to use here.
