* by 2, and so on.
*
* <p>If the given provider is installed at the requested position, the provider that used to be
* at that position, and all providers with a position greater than <code>position</code>, are
* shifted up one position (towards the end of the list of installed providers).

* <p>A provider cannot be added if it is already installed.
*
* <p>First, if there is a security manager, its <code>checkSecurityAccess</code> method is called
* with the string <code>"insertProvider."+provider.getName()</code> to see if it's ok to add a
* new provider. If the default implementation of <code>checkSecurityAccess</code> is used (i.e.,
* that method is not overriden), then this will result in a call to the security manager's <code>
* checkPermission</code> method with a <code>
* SecurityPermission("insertProvider."+provider.getName())</code> permission.
*
* @param provider the provider to be added.
* @param position the preference position that the caller would like for this provider.
