    Wouldn't it make sense if rear-sticky properties of the last character
    in the buffer would be returned by
    (get-text-property (point-max))
    ?

No, because get-text-property at other positions does not check
for rear-sticky properties of the preceding character.
This function inquires about the properties of a character.

After the release we could install a function that would return
the properties that would be inherited by a character inserted
at a certain place.
