In the case of tables, the minimum api I would accept includes a duplicate and truncate function. Also (of course) the existing add, as well as an insert (since we loose the ability to do so with this change.)
Insert? For a table, insert==add, because it's an unordered collection. Similarly, the semantics of truncate would be unpredictable.
In the case of hashes, we still need an efficient duplicate.
I agree.
