Remove from this set the `value_type` objects starting at the specified `first` position up to, but including the specified `last` position, and return `last`. This method invalidates only iterators and references to the removed element and previously saved values of the `end()` iterator. The behavior is undefined unless `first` and `last` either refer to elements in this set or are the `end` iterator, and the `first` position is at or before the `last` position in the ordered sequence provided by this container.
