Sorry, no.

However, are you sure you actually need that last bit of overhead  
reduction?  The new Query::insertfrom() mechanism -- currently in svn,  
coming in 3.1.0 -- should be awfully fast.  And if you don't want to  
use svn code, you can get similar functionality with either  
Query::insert(container) using small-enough containers, or  
Query::insert(iter, iter) using subranges of a large container.

If these mechanisms aren't fast enough, I hope you will take the time  
to post your benchmark results, to give us a target to aim at.
