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.
