I was a bit confused by the term "active call to `prepare_to_insert`",
since I thought that the function would need to be executed at this
moment. I inferred from below that you mean by this that there has been
a `prepare_to_insert` call, but not yet a corresponding `post_remove`
call.
I did not yet find a better way to phrase this.

I like putting the guarantees on the functions very much.
