great, i've pushed them now, with a minor tweak to fix some signed vs.
unsigned comparison warnings in debug assertions.

the one change that had me concerned for a while is this:

where it is a std::set::reverse_iterator; but it seems like this is
actually correct because the reverse_iterator is a wrapper for an
iterator that points 1 element ahead, such that the --(it.base())
expression will return an iterator that points to the same element as
the reverse_iterator, and furthermore the reverse_iterator is not
actually invalidated by the erase because internally it points one
element ahead.

googling found me this relevant mail:

we know you by now, no need to write that in every mail :)
