I noticed... but a WORKING mess. So I figured pattern copying might do
the trick. I was wrong.

That begs the question: what is a good example to learn from? What I
need, generically, is an example where an inset is embedded in another
inset (or even in a paragraph in the main text -- fundamentally
different or not?) in a 'hardwired' way; not as a manually inserted
inset in the *contents* of the surrounding inset (apparently with such
charmingly esoteric details as a character c == META_INSET [i.e., 3] to
flag it to make sure it gets displayed); no, *hardwired*. And then, make 
it display at the start, in such a way that the surrounding inset's 
content moves out of the way and takes the screen cursor with it. And 
both are rendered (drawn) correctly and non-overlappingly. And both 
respond to the mouse (though not simultaneously :-) Ah yes, there seem 
to be some pointers too that have to be set, like to the owning 
paragraph/inset (?). Unless one likes core files on one's disk.

All this is a big mystery to me. Where do I start? What is a good
learning example? Less pasta-like than bibkey, rather.

While awaiting enlightenment, I could flesh out InsetSection :-)
