Is there something "elegant" in the standard library I can use to
perform a "shifted insert" in a std::string? Let me examplify what I
mean with shifted insert.
Say I have:
std::string foo = "abc";
std::string shifted_foo = shifted_insert( foo, 'd');
shifted_foo should after the shifted_insert( ) equal "dab".
The char 'd' is inserted first, pushing everything up one index but
the size of the string should remain the same so in effect the last
char 'c' is pushed off the edge.
Doing this manually is relatively easy but I wanted to check if I'm
missing out on something in the standard library.
Thanks for any replies.

No, you're not missing anything. This functionality is not something
that is often in demand (at least in my POV), there is no place for
it in the standard library.

Nope, it's not there. But, as you said, it's easy to build it on top of what
is there:
#include <algorithm>
template < typename Cont, typename Value >
Cont shifted_insert( Cont the_cont, Value const & val ) {
std::rotate( the_cont.begin( ), --the_cont.end(), the_cont.end() );
*the_cont.begin () = val;
return ( the_cont );
}
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main ( void ) {
std::string foo = "abc";
std::cout << shifted_insert( foo, 'd' ) << '\n';
}

Would this be better?
std:;rotate( the_cont.begin( ), the_cont.rbegin ().base(),
the_cont.end()) ;
I just don't like the predecrement on a function return. I know,
personal taste.
*the_cont.begin () = val;
return ( the_cont );

Thanks, you are right. And it's probably not just taste. The way you wrote
it will guarantee the template to work even with vector containers that
have naked pointers for iterators. In that way, your version has smaller
conceptual requirements than mine.

Thanks for the code, Kai, and also Victor for his reply. I agree that
it's rare that you need this so I'm not surprised there's no function
in standard library for performing this. I've made some design changes
in my program and no I no longer need to do this but still I've learnt
something.
