[from {wart} by analogy with {misbug}] A {feature} that superficially
appears to be a {wart} but has been determined to be the {Right
Thing}. For example, in some versions of the {EMACS} text editor, the
`transpose characters' command exchanges the character under the
cursor with the one before it on the screen, except when the cursor
is at the end of a line, in which case the two characters before the
cursor are exchanged. While this behavior is perhaps surprising, and
certainly inconsistent, it has been found through extensive
experimentation to be what most users want. This feature is a
miswart.
