Is this a fundamental architectural limitation of tree-sitter's parsing
scheme?  Was it a design decision that trying insertions would be
too costly?  Or is it an improvement that should be explored?

Has this been discussed in the wider tree-sitter community?  I would
be surprised if emacs is the first to encounter this weakness.
