// Erase/EraseIf are based on C++20's uniform container erasure API:
// - https://eel.is/c++draft/libraryindex#:erase
// - https://eel.is/c++draft/libraryindex#:erase_if
// They provide a generic way to erase elements from a container.
// The functions here implement these for the standard containers until those
// functions are available in the C++ standard.
// Note: there is no std::erase for standard associative containers so we don't
// have it either.
