The C++ mapping does not permit you to do things like that. Perhaps it
should, but that's the way it is.

Who knows. Lucky with the way gcc 2.95 works, I suppose.

Don't derive a class. Why not just create a class that has a member
that is the sequence type?

If you need to move data from one sequence to another without copying,
look at the get_buffer and replace functions, and the constructor that
takes a buffer.
