[boost] boost::SequenceConcept and std::string

Apparently, std::string does not fulfill the requirements of the
boost::SequenceConcept, because it cannot be constructed like this:

    std::string::size_type size = 5;
    std::string test(size);

This is enforced in concept_check.hpp, line 832. IMHO, though, the
standard does not require a "sequence" to support this constructor. It
expects it to have

    sequence(size_type, value_type);

and so std::string does. Or am I missing something?
