This is called "Include", and is present in the Containers library.

This is called "Replace", and is present in the Containers library.

For deleting an element by value, look at "Exclude". For Iterating, look at
"Iterate".

There is very little reason to be using cursors with a Map. Cursors exist
with maps so that the same algorithms can be used on any container (list,
set, vector, map). But you really have little reason to use them with Maps
or Vectors. And if you do use them, making them a local variable that goes
away as soon as the operation is finished avoids almost all problems.
