<!-- cargo-rdme start -->

Performs a set of batched insertions on a vector.

[`Vec::insert(index, value)`][Vec::insert] takes `O(n)` time to move internal memory,
so calling it in a loop can cause quadratic blowup.

If you batch multiple values together with an [`InsertionSet`]
you can defer the expensive movement of the vector's
memory till the of the loop.

This code was originally copied from the first prototype compiler for [DuckLogic].
It was inspired by the way the [B3 JIT] handles insertions.
