Well, since I apparently made the change, I have to speak for it.
When one presses M-S-Right in order to create a new column, I think
a reasonable expectation is :
1. to move point to the right,
2. to move point in the newly created column.
Consequently, a reasonable expectation is to create the column to the
right.
Note that adding a column to the beginning of the row is easy: just type
"|" near the beginning of the first cell.
Does that make sense?
