I use 1.33.1 and can't switch to main trunc.

Why not std::pair<iterator,bool> as std::set/std::map return?
TO> multi object transfer: std::pair<iterator,size_type>
May be only size_type?
Why do you need the iterator for single element transfer, but not for multi element transfer?

I think for these two should be
single object transfer: iterator // this operation always insert key/value pair multi object transfer: void // this operation always insert all key/value pairs
I have come to dislike variations in return-type, even for different containers. It makes them less interchangeable. Do you disagree? -Thorsten
