I suspect this is a clang bug. All other compilers and even older
clang versions compile the "party" example and code from similar use
cases. There are probably workarounds for this problem. You can try to
write a wrapper class around SequenceI::shp_set like in

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/icl/doc/html/boost_icl/examples/partys_height_average.html

so you can control the operator += and it's definition directly.

Since I don't have a clang compiler here and not much time, I won't be
able to work on this.

Joachim
