Discussion:
insert(iterator, const value_type&) is defined both on
sequences and on set, with unrelated semantics: insert here (in
sequences), and insert with hint (in associative containers). They
should have different names (B.S. says: do not abuse overloading).
Rationale:
This is not a defect in the Standard. It is a genetic misfortune of the design, for better or for worse.
