A multiset is an associative container that supports equivalent keys (possibly contains multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of the keys themselves. The multiset class supports bidirectional iterators.
A multiset satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container, of an associative container, and of an allocator-aware container. multiset also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for duplicate keys. This means that a multiset supports the a_eq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_uniq operations. For a multiset<Key> both the key_type and value_type are Key. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on multiset that are not described in one of these tables and for operations where there is additional semantic information.
