extension to list extend

[James Stroud]

Found that this would be handy today:

alist = [1, 2, 3]
alist.extend(['a', 'b', 'c'], 1)
alist == [1, 'a', 'b', 'c', 2, 3] # True

Found that this would be handy today:

alist = [1, 2, 3]
alist.extend(['a', 'b', 'c'], 1)
alist == [1, 'a', 'b', 'c', 2, 3] # True

A better name for that would be insert(), but that is already used for
single-item insertion. For the time being you can do

items = [1, 2, 3]
items[1:1] = "abc"
items

[1, 'a', 'b', 'c', 2, 3]

Thanks! It looks much nicer too.
