Decreasing verbosity: inserting elements into map

I've been getting familiar with C++11 lately, and the auto keyword is great! Typing:

for (auto bar : bars) {

is oh-so satisfying. Keeps code readable and pretty. What still feels like it stops all your momentum is the following:

foo.insert(std::pair<std::string, bar>("soVerbose", baz));

// As opposed to simply:

foo.insert("soVerbose", baz);

Is there a good reason it is the way it is? And is there some neat way of making it less verbose? I know the [] operator can be used for inserting elements into maps, but the functionality is slightly different.
