:mrdocs:

Return an iterator providing non‐modifiable access to the first (i.e., ordered least) `value_type` object in this map whose key is greater than the specified `key`, and the past‐the‐end iterator if this map does not contain a `value_type` object whose key is greater‐than `key`. Note that this function returns the _last_ position before which a `value_type` object having an equivalent key could be inserted into the ordered sequence maintained by this map, while preserving its ordering.
