Boy would that increase time and memory usage!
But, if you want to do that, to replace a theoretical
insert dest copy/dup/deep src num
with
loop num [dest: insert dest copy/deep src] dest: head dest
which should be about as fast.
Perhaps you should consider a copy-on-write strategy as a time
and memory saving measure. I know that many don't think about
such things today, but copy/deep takes time. Time and memory
considerations are even more important in interpreted code.
