- The January '96 WP lists clear() as a required member of
- a Sequence, and push_back() as an optional member to be
- "provided only for the containers for which they take
- constant time". In that version of the WP, some of the
- optional members are provided, others are not.
-
- These omissions probably should be listed as an open issue for
- the Strings chapter.
