That's the only one actually guarded by a macro.

I just found another such extension:  vector::insert(i), taking only an
iterator.  It's along the same lines as the no-arg push_back, assuming
a default constructor.  This looks like an SGI-ism, and we /didn't/
deprecate it.

push_back() should go, but for 3.2 we ought to deprecate insert(i), and
remove it in 3.3.
