I would suspect that it will work the same as concatenating a character at
the end of the basic string.  Much like +=.

It probably has the same meaning as all other STL containers which use
push_back().

The standard (the pdf version downloaded from ANSI) defines a
function "void push_back(const charT)" for the basic_string
class on page 385, but doesn't say what it does either on page
393 where you would expect to find the explanation or anywhere
else.

Is it intended to be in the standard (with the same actions
as push_back in the container classes) or is this a misprint?
