This is a personal beef of mine: I regret ever introducing the term "weak
guarantee". I started using the term "basic" instead after a very short time
because "weak" tends to play into the common misconception that operations
providing the basic guarantee are somehow not exception-safe. Normal vector
inserts give the basic guarantee for types with throwing copy and/or
assignment for very important reasons of efficiency. This guarantee is
perfectly good for many situations and can be strengthened by the user when
neccessary.
So, I can't force you to say "basic guarantee", but I can ask nicely. Pretty
please?
