:mrdocs:

Remove from this set the `value_type` object that is equivalent to the specified `key`, if such an entry exists, and return 1; otherwise, if there is no `value_type` object that is equivalent to `key`, return 0 with no other effect. This method invalidates only iterators and references to the removed element and previously saved values of the `end()` iterator.
