A <span class="emphasis"><em>Insert without hint</em></span> member function always insert

</li>
<li class="listitem">
A <span class="emphasis"><em>Insert with hint</em></span> member function inserts the new
value <span class="bold"><strong>before the hint</strong></span> if hint's and new
node's keys are equivalent.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Implements Andrew Koenig <span class="emphasis"><em>as close as possible to hint</em></span>
proposal. A new element is always be inserted as close to the hint as possible.
So, for example, if there is a subsequence of equivalent values, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">begin</span><span class="special">()</span></code> as the hint means that the new element
should be inserted before the subsequence even if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">begin</span><span class="special">()</span></code> is far away. This allows code to always
append (or prepend) an equal range with something as simple as: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">m</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">insert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">m</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">end</span><span class="special">(),</span> <span class="identifier">new_node</span><span class="special">);</span></code>
or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">m</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">insert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">m</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">begin</span><span class="special">(),</span> <span class="identifier">new_node</span><span class="special">);</span></code>
