*Constraints*: The [*qualified-id*](expr.prim.id.qual#nt:qualified-id "7.5.5.3 Qualified names [expr.prim.id.qual]") Compare​::​is_transparent is valid and denotes a type[.](#1.sentence-1)

is_constructible_v<value_type, K> is true[.](#1.sentence-2)

*Preconditions*: The conversion from x into value_type constructs
an object u, for which find(x) == find(u) is true[.](#2.sentence-1)

*Effects*: If the set already contains an element equivalent to x,*this and x are unchanged[.](#3.sentence-1)

Otherwise,
inserts a new element as if by emplace(std​::​forward<K>(x))[.](#3.sentence-2)

*Returns*: In the first overload,
the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place[.](#4.sentence-1)

The returned iterator points to the element
whose key is equivalent to x[.](#4.sentence-2)

*Effects*: Adds elements to *c* as if by:*c*.insert(*c*.end(), first, last);

Then,
sorts the range of newly inserted elements with respect to *compare*;
merges the resulting sorted range and
the sorted range of pre-existing elements into a single sorted range; and
finally erases all but the first element
from each group of consecutive equivalent elements[.](#5.sentence-2)
