Inserts element(s) into the container.

1-2) inserts `value`. The overload (2) is equivalent to emplace(std::forward<P>(value)) and only participates in overload resolution if std::is_constructible<value_type, P&&>::value == true.
3-4) inserts `value`, using `hint` as a non-binding suggestion to where the search should start. The overload (4) is equivalent to emplace_hint(hint, std::forward<P>(value)) and only participates in overload resolution if std::is_constructible<value_type, P&&>::value == true.
5) inserts elements from range `[first, last)`.
6) inserts elements from initializer list `ilist`.
7) If `nh` is an empty node handle, does nothing. Otherwise, inserts the element owned by `nh` into the container and returns an iterator pointing at the inserted element.. The behavior is undefined if `nh` is not empty and get_allocator() != nh.get_allocator().
8) If `nh` is an empty node handle, does nothing and returns the end iterator. Otherwise, inserts the element owned by `nh` into the container, and returns the iterator pointing to the element with key equivalent to nh.key() The element is inserted as close as possible to `hint`. The behavior is undefined if `nh` is not empty and get_allocator() != nh.get_allocator().

If rehashing occurs due to the insertion, all iterators are invalidated. Otherwise iterators are not affected. References are not invalidated. Rehashing occurs only if the new number of elements is greater than max_load_factor()*bucket_count(). If the insertion is successful, pointers and references to the element obtained while it is held in the node handle are invalidated, and pointers and references obtained to that element before it was extracted become valid. (since C++17)

### Parameters

hint | - | iterator, used as a suggestion as to where to insert the content
value | - | element value to insert
first, last | - | range of elements to insert
ilist | - | initializer list to insert the values from
nh | - | a compatible node handle
Type requirements
- `InputIt` must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.

### Return value

1-4) Returns an iterator to the inserted element.
5-6) (none)
7,8) End iterator if `nh` was empty, iterator pointing to the inserted element otherwise.

### Exceptions

1-4) If an exception is thrown by any operation, the insertion has no effect.

### Complexity

1-4) Average case: `O(1)`, worst case `O(size())`
5-6) Average case: `O(N)`, where N is the number of elements to insert. Worse case: `O(N*size()+N)`
7-8) Average case: `O(1)`, worst case `O(size())`
