I completely agree. One thing that get lost in this discussion was the purpose
of container traits.
Container traits make and abstraction over container concept (std.23.1).
Adding addtional traits should be done only in regards to this concept.
For instance insert_invalidates_iterators should go under sequence traits.

Do I miss something again?
