You already can do this easily with `^'. It have advantage of being
context-independent: it works everywhere in any part of the subdirectory
listing. OTOH, overloading a clear meaning of `i' ("insert a subdir")
with more meanings will add inconsistencies.

It seems what you are trying to do here is to insert a group of
subdirectories. Maybe, it would be much easier just to mark them
with e.g. `* /' (`dired-mark-directories') and type `i' to insert
them all at once into the same dired buffer.
