The PR shows a fairly pathological case where ranges of InputIterators
are repeatedly inserted at the start of a vector. Each insertion from
an InputIterator moves every element after the insertion point by a
single position. So if we insert 1000 elements at the start we move
each existing element 1000 times to reach its final position.
This patch changes insertions that aren't at the end to use a
temporary vector, which starts empty so insertions are at the end, and
so fast. Then we do a range insert to copy everything from that vector
at once. That uses random access iterators, so we know how far to move
the existing elements and can just move them to their final position
in one step.
Is it legal to use the allocator even though capacity-size is large enough
for the inserted range?
