This code is indeed a mess. I 'fixed' in the libstdc++-v7 branch by
deleting it, where the predicate and non-predicate versions got
merged. I believe (although I can't remember which ones off the top of
my head) that a few of the other functions have this strange behaviour
of the predicate and non-predicate versions being unexpectedly
different. As you say, the predicate and non-predicate versions should
really be basically the same.
