I don't think this is any worse than that the language lets you divide
by zero or index an array out of range.

By using std::move(spD) you say "take it, I don't care about it
anymore". Then on the next line you DO care!


Isn't it a rare condition to try to insert into a set, but still
wanting to keep the duplicate? Why not use a multiset in that case?
