   Hi,   
      
   A small but annoying piece of STL is that the push_back and push_front   
   member functions of std::list (say) do not return an iterator to the   
   created element. This results in having to do something like   
      
       auto iter = list.end();   
       --iter;   
      
   This is bad; it does not compose, it is redundant, and opens up a door   
   for possibly getting it wrong.   
      
   Why was the iterator-return left off from C++03?   
      
   Why was the iterator-return left off from C++11?
