I have a local branch rewriting the memory page to compose with 
emplace()/clear() instead; I had a pull request up for a while, 
but I closed it because clear() isn't documented yet. I don't 
think we should remove that section until its alternative is 
fully ready.

(My branch also has some other fixes for that page, maybe I 
should send a pull request for those changes separately...)
