Hear, hear!

Maybe we should bind the INSERT key to a new facility for easily
discoverable insertion of characters.  If they fit, it could also
provide ways to insert other things -- buffers, files, the kill ring
and registers, effectively becoming a prefix key for all kinds of
insertion.

This would make the command overwrite-mode harder to type.  I don't
know how many users would mind that; perhaps we should conduct a poll.
INSERT INSERT could run overwrite-mode.

What do people think?
