The most appropriate place would be Boost.Algorithm, so that is
Marshall's domain.

Your find() function deviates on several accounts from std::find()
so it should probably be renamed, e.g. to find_key.

Can you elaborate on why you have a specialization that uses
lower_bound()?

What is the minimal C++ version required? Looks like C++14 from
the auto return type.
