Unlike the doc string of `insert', this doc string does not explicitly
say the following:

 Point and before-insertion markers move forward to end up
  after the inserted text.
 Any other markers at the point of insertion remain before the text.

It should.  Here is an example where a reader did not understand some
code, partly because, it seems, this doc string is not explicit about
this.

Fixed.

I think that reader misunderstood something else: the difference
between point and window-point.
