OK. I think I see. It's basically a replace method, right? And it 
differs from insert in that it doesn't shift the position of the 
other nodes?

I'll need to think about this more deeply when my brain is less fuzzy 
than it is now. To be honest, I wasn't incredibly thrilled by adding 
insert and remove, but they turned out to be very useful for XInclude.
