I would like to take the following data:


insertvalues = {r, x};
insertpositions = {{1}, {5}};
origlist = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g};


and generate output that looks like this:

{r,a,b,c,d,x,e,f,g}

Mathematica's Insert command seems limited in that it does not allow you to insert multiple elements simultaneously into different positions in a list.

I wrote an ugly While loop to accomplish this, and it works, but seems inappropriate for Mathematica's functional approach to coding. Is there a "simpler" way to accomplish this goal with a functional approach? Thank you.
