linsert - Insert elements into a list
linsert list index element ?element element ...?
This command produces a new list from list by inserting all of the
element arguments just before the index'th element of
list. Each element argument will become a separate element of
the new list. If index is less than or equal to zero, then the new
elements are inserted at the beginning of the list.
The interpretation of the index value is the same as
for the command string index, supporting simple index
arithmetic and indices relative to the end of the list.
Putting some values into a list, first indexing from the start and
then indexing from the end, and then chaining them together:
set oldList {the fox jumps over the dog}
set midList [linsert $oldList 1 quick]
set newList [linsert $midList end-1 lazy]
# The old lists still exist though...
set newerList [linsert [linsert $oldList end-1 quick] 1 lazy]
