boost 1.35 (boost::mpl::vector)

models a front extensible sequence. of course this does not make sense,
because inserting at front implies n operations, where the docu states it
takes only constant compile time.

boost 1.36 (boost::mpl::vector)

so an compile time assertion tells, that push_front is not supported for 
vectors.
(docu dont states so)

boost 1.35 (boost::mpl::list )

is a front and back extensible sequence, so push_front and push_back are
supported as for std::list (that ok).

boost 1.36 (boost::mpl::list)

is no longer back extensible, because a compile time assertion tells, that 
the
push_back is no longer supported for lists. maybe its planned to change 
the
implementation to a recursive list, then inserting at back, will take 
O(n), but
a list must support push_back. please fix that.

docu states, a list is front and back extensible (inconsitent to 
assertion).

mfg, ingo.
