Discussion:

Currently, std::vector and std::inplace_vector's resize functions are specified to have no effects on the container when an exception is throwing on appending. However, such specification seem to be missing for std::deque, std::forward_list, and std::list.

Is such difference intented? Do we want to roll back the status of container when the appending is partially done?

Daniel:

The specific resize exception guarantee for std::vector came from resolving LWG 2033⁽ⁱ⁾ and were later effectively copied to std::inplace_vector because that container's specification should resemble as much as possible that of std::vector.

Proposed resolution:
