Yes.  Agreed.

This is a nice example of the joy of customizing emacs.  For my tastes
I would want it to move the point with the word being dragged forward
two words.  Here is my modification to the above.

 (defun transpose-over-word ()
   (interactive)
   (transpose-subr #'forward-word  2)
   (backward-word 1)
   (transpose-subr #'forward-word -1) 
   (forward-word 1) )

That actually does exactly what I would want M-1 M-t to do.
