In deed I have misunderstood.
Exposed that way, I think that insert_element and erase_element are the
best solution since the elements you want to move could be zero ones.
That is said, you can modify iterators location, as I have mentioned but
not the same way, but this won't be optimal and worse it won't be secure.
Best regards and sorry for the misunderstanding.
