Then, returning index seems the most consistent.
table.remove takes index and returns value, so table.insert can take value and
return index.

I'd say that returning the item being inserted is at
least consistent
with table.remove, which returns the removed
item.
Of course, one can always write a wrapper around table.insert
to
return anything desired.
