OK, I added an entry, now contained in the new patch.

Subject: [PATCH] Make vtable-insert-object more versatile

Rename argument AFTER-OBJECT to LOCATION; allow use of index to refer to
the insertion position; add argument BEFORE (Bug#70664).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/vtable.el (vtable-insert-object):
* doc/misc/vtable.texi (Interface Functions): Document the change.
