Comment (by anonymous):

 As a first-time user of flat_map, I was pretty confused why

 {{{
 #!cpp
 insert( std::make_pair( x, y ) )
 }}}

 wasn't compiling, especially since the docs suggest that the Boost
 containers are drop-in replacements, and since flat_map::value_type is
 std::pair. At any rate, I just recommend including a note on proper usage
 in the descriptions for the insert() family.

 P.S. For anybody stumbling across this bug report after a Google search,
 you can use
 {{{
 #!cpp
 emplace( std::make_pair(x, y ) )
 }}}

 Still not { x, y }, though.
