By all means. ;-)

I just wanted to say (but perhaps I should actually have said it ;-)
that I personally rarely find myself wishing Emacs would insert that
extra space. I either use transpose-words couple of times, with or
without prefix arguments, or I kill the relevant word together with a
space before or after and yank it in such a way that that space is in
the right position. (I admit I get it wrong sometimes...)

What I do run into from time to time, is wanting to transpose clauses
within a sentence and having to manually adjust the punctuation and
possibly an "and" or an "or". But I suspect we'll have to plug Emacs
into Skynet first before it can be taught to autocorrect such cases.

Anyway, my opinion shouldn't stop you from creating such a package, of
course. I mean, it bugs you, so that should be enough of a reason,

right? ;-)
