    Personally I see no reason to have backward-word on M-left too, but I 
    guess it is there for historical reason. However it takes up a valuable 
    binding.

It is there because of the Emacs convention that word commands use M-.

    * Then it was my proposal to change the name of functions like 
    org-metaleft. The description of org-metaleft is

       (org-metaleft &optional arg)

       Promote heading or move table column to left.
       Calls `org-do-promote' or `org-table-move-column', depending on
       context.

Maybe it is valid to consider that a variant of backward-word.
