People build performance sensitive code assuming the cost of certain 
operations -- like, assuming that erasing elements from a vector never 
reallocates it; and that the only operation that sheds capacity is 
squeeze(), everything else (incl. clear(), incl. resize(0)) keeps the 
capacity (*). We should stop backstabbing them...


(*) Which of course opens an interesting discussion in case of these 
operations detach
