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