Thanks!

I'm now able to catch codes like this one: find(s.begin(),s.end(),i);
via a matcher like this:
callExpr(allOf(callee(functionDecl(hasName("std::find"))),
                        hasArgument(0,
hasDescendant(expr(hasType(typedefType(hasDecl(matchesName("std::(multiset|set).*::iterator"))))))))).bind("id")
