transpose-chars is inconsistent itself:

abcd     ->    abdc    (When cursor is at end of line)
    ^              ^

abcd     ->    abdc    (When cursor is within line)
   ^              ^

Different cursor positions, but same result.

Repeated transpose-chars at the end of line will undo itself. Not so
if the cursor is in the middle of the line.

I am just as likely to transpose characters when I'm entering text for
the first time on a line (the cursor at end of line) as when I'm
inserting text in the middle of the line. If I transpose characters in
the middle of a line, I have to go back one character, then do the
transpose. I would much prefer transpose-chars to always transpose the
two characters before the cursor. At least for me, that's what seems
the most useful method.
