I assume it's based on the concepts of slicing. From the docs "s.insert(i, x) - inserts x into s at the index given by i (same as s[i:i] = [x])".
Ah, right. It matches thigs like s[100:] which is the empty string if s is shorter than 100.
Although shouldn't that read s[i:i+1] = [x] ?
Should've stopped while you were ahead. :-)
'Nuff said.
