In many of these files, it can be replaced by insert, because it is used
as:
(insert-string string)
Should I check each case and convert it into insert or do we have any
plans with insert-string?
In those places where `insert' will work, it is cleaner to use
`insert'. So if you'd like to change those places, that would be good
to do.
We can't remove the function `insert-string', though. If this many
files in Emacs use it, lots of user code must also use it.
We might want to mark `insert-string' obsolete, and say people should
use `format' and `insert' to convert a number and insert it. But I am
not sure of that. Maybe we should simply leave it alone.
