Subject: 25.0.50; doc string of `insert-buffer-substring'
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 16:19:28 -0700 (PDT)

Unlike the doc string of `insert', this doc string does not explicitly
say the following:

 Point and before-insertion markers move forward to end up
  after the inserted text.
 Any other markers at the point of insertion remain before the text.

It should.  Here is an example where a reader did not understand some
code, partly because, it seems, this doc string is not explicit about
this.
