1) If a key equivalent to k already exists in the container, does nothing. Otherwise, behaves like emplace except that the element is constructed as value_type(std::piecewise_construct, std::forward_as_tuple(k), std::forward_as_tuple(forward<Args>(args)...))
2) If a key equivalent to k already exists in the container, does nothing. Otherwise, behaves like emplace except that the element is constructed as value_type(std::piecewise_construct, std::forward_as_tuple(std::move(k)), std::forward_as_tuple(forward<Args>(args)...))

No iterators or references are invalidated.

[edit] Parameters

k - the key used both to look up and to insert if not found
hint - iterator to the position before which the new element will be inserted
args - arguments to forward to the constructor of the element

[edit] Return value

1,2) Same as for emplace
3,4) Same as for emplace_hint

[edit] Complexity

1,2) Same as for emplace
3,4) Same as for emplace_hint

[edit] Notes

Unlike insert or emplace, these functions do not steal from move-only arguments if the insertion does not happen, which makes it easy to manipulate maps whose values are move-only types, such as std::map<std::string, std::unique_ptr<foo>>. In addition, try_emplace treats the key and the arguments to the mapped_type separately, unlike emplace, which requires the arguments to construct a value_type (that is, a std::pair)
