 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__insertw__(<index> <word> <word list>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +   * If the <index> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
 +   * If the <index> argument is less than 1, then the return value is the rest of the argument list as it is passed. (<word> <word list>)
 +   * Otherwise, the return value is a copy of <word list> that has had <word> inserted as the <index>th word, counting from zero.
 +   * No words in <word list> are removed.
 +   * Remember that <word list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]].
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +Use this function when you need to insert a word into a word list and
 +you have a specific place in mind for it.  If you use an index of 0,
 +then it will return the arguments just as you passed them, with any
 +spaces between <word> and <word list> included.  This is similar to the
 +$[[unshift function|unshift]]() function.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +<word list> with <word> inserted as the <index>th word.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +$insertw(1 blah hi there bob)       returns "hi blah there bob"
 +
 +======History:======
 +This function first appeared in "plus-2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC)
