There was a problem hiding this comment.
I believe a "container" is a "range," so should this (and throughout) just say "with a range or ranges that (is/are)...", "with a range or containers that (is/are)...", or any variation along those lines? I wasn't able to come up with a phrasing that wasn't icky. IMO the benefit of not-too-awful grammar is worth the cost of redundancy here.

Noticed this in the review of P3567 "
flat_meowfixes" today; and this is not one of the things that it's going to fix, so might as well do it editorially first.The egregious editorial issue here is that one place says "a container, containers, or range that is not sorted with respect to
key_comp()," and another place says "a container, containers, or range that are not sorted with respect tokey_comp()." We should fix the latter. Drive-by harmonize the exact wording and the line-breaks in each similar sentence:"The effect of calling a meow"
"that has this property"
"with these arguments"
"is undefined".
