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