Okay, this is all understandable. For the record: A few days ago I changed the documentation so that it's in a consistent state with the current code. Since the change has been in place since 2017 what's the right thing to do? - Wait a while for someone speaking out to keep the state as it is now? If nobody shows up, just change back to inserting to the left? - Introduce a customizable variable for inserting to the left? - Add a parameter to org-table-insert-column to control insertion left/right and possibly even the number of columns? - Something else?
