Yes. This sounds like how Tex_InsertItem should be behaving. The
solution you propose sounds excellent. I don't think there should be any
problems changing Tex_InsertItem to behave as you describe. I'll make
the change soon.

I remember from some time back Mikolaj and I had a bit of a discussion
about changing Tex_InsertItem and he had some reservations about
changing it to anything more complex than the present scheme...
Mikolaj: does Alan's scheme sound good?
