miswart: /mis-wort/ n. [from wart by analogy with misbug] A
feature that superficially appears to be a wart but has been
determined to be the Right Thing. For example, in some versions
of the EMACS text editor, the `transpose characters' command
exchanges the character under the cursor with the one before it on
the screen, _except_ when the cursor is at the end of a line, in
which case the two characters before the cursor are exchanged.
While this behavior is perhaps surprising, and certainly
inconsistent, it has been found through extensive experimentation to
be what most users want. This feature is a miswart.
