Hmm, reading The Manual, eh!

I also notice that the e-TeX manual says
'The additional registers, numbered 256–32767, can be used exactly as
the first 256, except that they can not be used for insertion classes.'

So what happens when e-TeX reads \reserveinsert <bignum> {<stuff>} ??
a: An error? But then what happens to <stuff>
?
b: Or does <stuff> just silently disappear?
c: Or (a variant on b:) an insertion item gets into the current list but none of the associated registers is created/populated and this item is subsequently ignored when building pages etc.
Questions, questions, questions ...
