So the exception specification for that erase version is missing. I 
thought that erase(const key_type &) was allowed to throw, but "no 
erase(), pop_back() or pop_front() function throws an exception" seems 
quite generic. If "erase()" means "erase(iterator)" I think it would  be 
nice to clarify it and explicitly state if the Comparison function is 
allowed to throw.

Just my 2 cents,
