INSERT function

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| INSERT(new, target, [pos], [length], [pad])                                 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Returns a copy of string target with string new inserted at position pos,
padded to length length with character pad.  If pos is greater than the length
of target, target is extended to that position with pad characters.  If pos
is not specified, it defaults to 0 (i.e., the start of the target string).  If
length is not specified, it defaults to the length of the new string.  If pad
is not specified, it defaults to blank.

Examples:

    INSERT(' ', 'abcdef', 3)            == 'abc def'
    INSERT('123', 'abc' , 5,6)          == 'abc  123   '
    INSERT('123', 'abc' , 5,6, '+')     == 'abc++123+++'
    INSERT('l23', 'abc')                == '123abc'
    INSERT(' 123' , 'abc' , , 5, ' - ') == '123--abc'
