   Hi,   
      
   Can we please change the ISO C++ Standard so that explicitly states what   
   happens to a sequence container's capacity() after calling clear()?   
      
   Currently the behaviour is unspecified and I know of at least one   
   implementation that deallocates on vector::clear().   
      
   If the behaviour remains unspecified then it is effectively impossible   
   to write portable code that uses clear() and you have to hope things   
   such as v.erase(v.begin(), v.end()) behave more consistently across   
   different implementations.
