  16. Due to the fact that strings have iterator support,
  17. the could be used as stl container.
  18. But two things are missing:
  19.  - push_back()
  20.  - clear()
  21. These are fundamental operations, that the corresponding "normal"
  22. container, namely vector, has.
  23. Especially push_back() would be essential to use insert iterators
  24. for strings.
  25. Wouldn't it make sense to introduce them for strings ?
