I agree.

I have mixed feelings about this. Surely some people (who use
Codewarrior ;^>) will not care about compile times for some applications,
and will only care that their code is flexible or easy-to-write.

Maybe the right solution is to pick a different name for the function which
works on any sequence, and reserve push_back for type_vector and others
where it can be reasonably efficient.
