Some feedback regarding this patch ?
Two quick ones: what if the hint is wrong? I suppose the insertion succeeds anyway, it's only a little waste of time, right? Is it possible that for instance something throws in that case and would not now (when the hint is simply ignored)? In case, check and re-check we are still conforming.

In any case, I think it's quite easy to notice if an implementation is using the hint in this way or a similar one basing on some simple benchmarks, without looking of course at the actual implementation code. Do we have any idea what other implementations are doing? Like, eg, they invented something for unordered_set and map too? Or a better way to exploit the hint for the multi variants? Eventually I suppose we want to add a performance testcase to our testsuite.

Thanks!
Paolo.
