insert-file is nice and insert-buffer is nice but what would be nicer
is a combined insert-file-or-buffer that somehow detects what to do
and how best to handle completions. That way we don't have to think,
not that we ever did.

Even better would be "insert-stuff" which automatically figures out
"what to do", and inserts something appropriate. Report behind
schedule? Just M-x insert-stuff, and whoa, there it is! Handy!

Come now, if we were really planning to harm you, would we be waiting here,
beside the path, in the very darkest part of the forest?

I suggest a better name: "insert-dwim".

Try this:
(require 'esp)
M-x esp-insert RET
If you concentrate really hard, it may work.
