I've had a quick look into the outside world; there is an abundance of
good names, IMHO, to be found in GLIB, STL, Haskell lib, and also the
existing Ada libraries. In particular, in GLIB, there is a POSITION
argument name (in insert iirc), and there are prepend and append
operations, which could easily be provided by a renaming declaration
that provides a default value to the position (or whatever) argument.
If I'm not missing something.
