You showed up, brother!  This whole argument is your fault, ha ha!

Tell me, your name is Nils or Nilsola?

What I find useful is to get *coherence* in a implementation, since this
helps to deduce, reducing the need to memorize.

Of course, a same behaviour doesn't fit all cases, but as far as I
understand, depending of whatever you need to do after pasting the text,
it could be just as convenient the cursor to land on the first or the
last line.  Am I wrong to assume that the probability is fifty-fifty?

At least what you suggest takes in care that the change I propose cannot
be judged from one particular case.
