Yes, I noticed that myself today.  transpose-lines has weird behaviour

but adds a newline.  With a prefix argument, it completely weirds
everything out.  I didn't know about this earlier.

A long time ago, someone in the Lisp industry told me it was poor form
quote people; it suggests that they lack value.
