 The bottom line is that, we have an issue as to know which functions a
 library can use unqualified.  As to now, there has been no definitive
 resolution. Oh yes, one can modify insert() to please you, but that
 doesn't answer the question of which function names the libray can use
 in an unqualified manner.  The answer to that question is necessary
 before going changing function name uses willy-nilly.
