1-4) These deduction guides are provided for `map` to allow deduction from an iterator range (overloads (1,3)) and std::initializer_list (overloads (2,4)).
5,6) These deduction guides are provided for `map` to allow deduction from a `std::from_range_t` tag and an `input_range`.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if `InputIt` satisfies LegacyInputIterator, `Alloc` satisfies Allocator, and `Comp` does not satisfy Allocator.

Note: the extent to which the library determines that a type does not satisfy LegacyInputIterator is unspecified, except that as a minimum integral types do not qualify as input iterators. Likewise, the extent to which it determines that a type does not satisfy Allocator is unspecified, except that as a minimum the member type `Alloc::value_type` must exist and the expression std::declval<Alloc&>().allocate(std::size_t{}) must be well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand.

### Notes

Feature-test macro | Value | Std | Comment
--- | --- | --- | ---
`__cpp_lib_containers_ranges` | 202202L | (C++23) | Ranges-aware construction and insertion; overload (5,6)

### Example

Run this code

    #include <map>

    int main()
    {
        // std::map m1 = {{"foo", 1}, {"bar", 2}};
            // Error: braced-init-list has no type; cannot deduce
            // pair<Key, T> from {"foo", 1} or {"bar", 2}

        std::map m1 = {std::pair{"foo", 2}, {"bar", 3}}; // guide #2
        std::map m2(m1.begin(), m1.end()); // guide #1
    }

### Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior
--- | --- | --- | ---
LWG 3025 | C++17 | initializer-list guides take std::pair<const Key, T> | use std::pair<Key, T>
