Count Alternative Insertion Orders for One BST. Insert the distinct values of nums, a permutation of 1..n, into an empty binary search tree in their given order. Count other permutations of those values that create the identical BST.
### Problem
Insert the distinct values of `nums`, a permutation of `1..n`, into an empty binary search tree in their given order. Count other permutations of those values that create the identical BST. Exclude the original permutation and return the count modulo `10^9 + 7`.
```cpp
class Solution {
public:
int numOfWays(vector<int>& nums);
};
```
### Examples
**Example 1:**
```text
nums = [2,1,4,3]
Output: 2
Explanation: Besides the original, [2,4,1,3] and [2,4,3,1] produce the same tree.
```
**Example 2:**
```text
nums = [4,3,2,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: Every node must precede its descendant in the left chain, fixing the insertion order.
```
### Constraints
- `1 <= nums.length <= 1000`.
- Each value is in `[1, nums.length]`, and all values are distinct.
### Clarifying Questions
The root value and the entire left/right structure must match, not merely the inorder traversal. The original ordering is not counted, as established by the source examples.
```hint Inspect the structure
Which features of the complete labeled tree must stay unchanged, and which insertion orders must be excluded from the count?
```
### Reasoning checkpoints
- Count all and only the alternative orders that reproduce the full labeled BST.
- Avoid counting an ordering twice, and exclude the original with correct modular arithmetic.
### Optional extensions
How would duplicate keys require an explicit BST insertion policy?
