Description
Bugfix: Fails to insert at index 0 into empty container (off by one error)
For situations such as implementing a list of "recent documents" eg for text editor, it's necessary to maintain an ordered set, but with the additional capability of prepending/appending a new instance if the object doesn't yet exist in the set, or if it does, shifting the object to the front/back.
