That’s a good question!
This illustration was pretty simple, but the idea of connecting a container to the STL allows to use more elaborate algorithms on it, for instance std::set_difference.
I’ll add that to the post, thanks.

why not just a one-line ranged-for-loop?
`for (const auto& i: inputs) addInRepository(f(i), repo);`

Right! Fixed it, thanks.
It was actually in my backlog to write a post about the reasoning behind the deprecation of std::iterator 🙂

(your custom_insert_iterator is based on it now)

(it might be a good idea to write and explain reasoning behind this :))
