shorter tha
This functionality has existed since the earliest days of Python, and even
if we all agreed it was wrong we couldn't change it -- it would just break
too much existing code. I can't quite remember why I did it that way but it
was definitely a conscious choice; probably some symmetry or edge case.

100 , it behaved like append instead of throwing any errors as I was trying
to insert in an index that did not even existed .
