Josuttis comments that to get copy_if functionality, one should use
remove_copy_if. But that removes the copied items from the original container.
Yes, copy_if is trivial to implement, but why did the committee (and/or
Stepanov&Lee) not put it into the STL?

No it doesn't. It copies items from one range to another, skipping those
that match the condition. The source range is not modified.
*None* of the STL algorithms remove elements from containers. Since they work
on arrays, and it is impossible to change the length of an array in C++.

It was an oversight, for which Stroustrup apologises in "The C++ Programming
Language".
But remove_copy_if works just fine, you just have to negate the test.

A mistake. It will be in the next version.

No, it does not. It simply skips copying any item that meets the
specified criteria. IOW, copy_if would be basically identical to
remove_copy_if, except that the predicate is logically negated.

I was looking at Josuttis, page 380:
"remove_copy_if() is a combination of copy() and remove_if(). It *removes each element in the source range*
[beg,end) for which the unary predicate op(elem) yields true while the elements are copied into the destination range
starting with destBeg". (emphasis mine)
The wording was such that I thought they were removed from the source container. However, looking at the sample
program and its output, I see that I was mistaken.
Thanks

From http://www.josuttis.com/libbook/errata1_5.html :
================================================== ===================
Page 380, Section 9.7.1
The descriptions of remove_copy() and remove_copy_if() are misleading.
Replace the second sentence of the first item by:
It copies each element in the source range [beg,end) that is not equal to
value into the destination range starting with destBeg.
Replace the second sentence of the second item by:
It copies each element in the source range [beg,end) for which the unary
predicate op(elem) yields false into the destination range starting with
destBeg.
