27.8 Sorting and related operations [alg.sorting]

27.8.7 Set operations on sorted structures [alg.set.operations]

27.8.7.1 General [alg.set.operations.general]

1
#
Subclause [alg.set.operations] defines all the basic set operations on sorted structures.
They also work with multisets ([multiset]) containing multiple copies of equivalent elements.
The semantics of the set operations are generalized to multisets in a standard way by defining set_union to contain the maximum number of occurrences of every element, set_intersection to contain the minimum, and so on.

#
Let comp be less{}, proj1 be identity{}, and proj2 be identity{}, for the overloads with no parameters by those names.
2
#
Preconditions: The ranges [first1, last1) and [first2, last2) are sorted with respect to comp and proj1 or proj2, respectively.
3
#
Returns: true if and only if [first2, last2) is a subsequence of [first1, last1).
[Note 1: 
A sequence S is a subsequence of another sequence T if S can be obtained from T by removing some, all, or none of T's elements and keeping the remaining elements in the same order.
