   So far I see no evidence on what you write that proofs my assertion   
   wrong. Keep in mind that several functions can take iterators that may   
   become invalidated during the operation. Among these are all those   
   functions that take an iterator value from the same container as   
   positioning argument, (erase, insert, ...).

   I repeat, the current wording is no oversight. The "omission" exists   
   for good reasons and is intended here. An implementation has to get   
   this right. And I also repeat that for the same reasons the resize   
   function of several containers had been changed for the exact same   
   reason,

   The discussion content exists there for good reason.
