Section 22.2.6 [associative.reqmts]

In Table 102, several uses of `T` (which means `mapped_type` here) should be `value_type` instead. This is almost editorial. For instance:

>     a_uniq.emplace(args)

> Requires: `T` shall be `EmplaceConstructible` into `X` from args.

> Effects: Inserts a `T` object `t` constructed with `std::forward<Args>(args)...` if and only if there is no element in the container with key equivalent to the key of `t`. The `bool` component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion takes place, and the iterator component of the pair points to the element with key equivalent to the key of `t`.

Not even an exhaustive list of problem locations. No reason to doubt issue.

Pablo agrees to provide wording.

[2014-02-15 post-Issaquah session : move to Resolved]

AJM to replace this note with a 'Resolved By...' after tracking down the exact sequence of events, but clearly resolved in C++14 DIS.

Proposed resolution:

In both section 22.2.6 [associative.reqmts] Table 102 and 22.2.7 [unord.req], Table 103, make the following text replacements:

Original text, in FDIS | Replacement text
`T` is CopyInsertable into `X` and `CopyAssignable`. | `value_type` is `CopyInsertable` into `X`, `key_type` is `CopyAssignable`, and `mapped_type` is `CopyAssignable` (for containers having a `mapped_type`)
`T` is `CopyInsertable` | `value_type` is CopyInsertable
`T` shall be `CopyInsertable` | `value_type` shall be CopyInsertable
`T` shall be `MoveInsertable` | `value_type` shall be MoveInsertable
`T` shall be `EmplaceConstructible` | `value_type` shall be EmplaceConstructible
`T` object | `value_type` object

[ Notes to the editor: The above are carefully selected phrases that can be used for global search-and-replace within the specified sections without accidentally making changes to correct uses `T`. ]
