Discussion:
The requirements for associative and unordered associative containers list insert_return_type for all containers, but looking at the class description in 24.4.4.1 [map.overview], 24.4.5.1 [multimap.overview] etc. it's only defined for containers with unique keys. Jonathan Wakely pointed out that this depends on the resolution of LWG 2772, which might remove insert_return_type completely.
A possible resolution would be to put in 24.2.7 [associative.reqmts]: 'insert_return_type (map and set only)' and in 24.2.8 [unord.req]: 'insert_return_type (unordered_map and unordered_set only)'. Or maybe something like '(containers with unique keys only)'.[Issues Telecon 16-Dec-2016]
Resolved by adoption of P0508R0.
