// Finds the highest index at which a value should be inserted into an array in order to maintain its sort order, based on a provided iterator function.

// - Loosely check if the array is sorted in descending order.
// - Use `Array.prototype.map()` to apply the iterator function to all elements of the array.
// - Use `Array.prototype.reverse()` and `Array.prototype.findIndex()` to find the appropriate last index where the element should be inserted, based on the provided iterator function.
