Discussion:
The string::erase(iterator first, iterator last) is specified to return an element oneplace beyond the next element after the last one erased. E.g. for the string"abcde", erasing the range ['b'..'d') would yield an iterator for element 'e',while 'd' has not been erased.
Proposed resolution:
In 27.4.3.7.5[string.erase], paragraph 10, change:
Returns: an iterator which points to the element immediately following _last_ prior to the element being erased.
to read
Returns: an iterator which points to the element pointed to by _last_ prior to the other elements being erased.
