     - I've made it to ask before inserting, instead of blindingly inserting
    *and* issuing a warning.  Which way is preferred?

A warning is better.  The user can always undo the insertion,
so it is harmless to go ahead; but the question would be annoying.

One could argue that it should insert from the buffer instead, but
there's another command insert-buffer, so insert-file should always
insert from the file.
