Contrary to its name and all the documentation I have read,
append-next-kill sometimes causes the next kill to be prepended. Example
(in emacs -Q): Type "foo bar", then C-a M-d C- C-e C-M-w C-w C-y. The
yank produces " barfoo". This command would be much more useful if I
understood when the next kill appends and when it prepends.

Yes, prepend or append is dependent on the order of mark and point.
Maybe the documentation could be improved.

I have changed the docstring and the manual to make this clearer. The
name is probably not worth changing.
Thanks.
