Inserting a DWG/DXF as a block merged its layers, linetypes and text,
dimension, multileader and table styles, but not its multiline styles.
A drawing that brings its wall styles in by inserting a library file
(AutoLISP add-ons do this: INSERT walls.dwg, ERASE the reference, then
MLINE with one of its styles) got "Cannot find multiline style". The
styles now merge like the other tables: a name the drawing already has
keeps the drawing's definition.

At the block name prompt, *NAME inserts the block's objects: after the
insertion point INSERT asks one scale factor and the rotation, and no
attribute values. A path (C:\parts\bolt.dxf), NAME=path or NAME= reads
the drawing through the io hooks and defines a block named after the
file (or NAME) from its model space, with the file's $INSBASE as the
base point, adding the layers, linetypes, styles and blocks it needs and
keeping this drawing's definitions. A plain path whose block already
exists asks whether to redefine it; NAME=path redefines without asking.
A file that can't be read is reported at the name prompt. The JSON form
takes `file` (optional `name`) and "*NAME".
