Suggestion Retracted
TL;DR
Fast, Filter, Stack and Stack Filter variants of the Long handed inserter.
Why ?
When using belts to feed complex recipies in assembly machines, I occassionally come across the problem that the long handed inserters are too slow to keep up with the assembly process.
While this can be aleviated somewhat with the inserter stack size upgrades, it would be nice to have at least fast long handed inserters available, even if only later in the game.

Very unlikely this will ever be added in vanilla, but you'll find plenty of this stuff on the mod portal.

I did very strongly suspect that this had been requested and rejected in the past, but when my searches didn't return anything I figured I'd still post it. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I get it. I really did mean it as a late QoL kind of suggestion, and it only occassionally happens in cramped spaces. I'm only just starting to build up a blueprint library of my own, so most of my actual factory is ad-hock construction, which leads to cramming in places.
I don't have the option to mark this as resolved, retracted or locked in any way, as far as I know, so this'll have to do...
