      The <Insert> key is used to toggle between Insert and Replace 
modes.  I almost never use Replace mode, and I often hit the <Insert> 
key when I am aiming for the <Del> key, so I have :imap'ed it to <Nop>.

      In other words, it is not quite true that the <Insert> key is 
unused, but it is pretty close.
