Yeah, and it's so weird that such a blatant doc error in such a basic
function has survived for 20 years that I thought I must be misreading
the code somehow. :-) But it's calling insert_1_both with
before_markers false, so the doc string really is wrong. (Besides, it
wouldn't make sense if it was doing what it was documenting.)
