>    A numeric argument to a transpose command serves as a repeat count:
> it tells the transpose command to move the character (word, expression,
> line) before or containing point across several other characters (words,
> expressions, lines).  For example, ‘C-u 3 C-t’ moves the character
> before point forward across three other characters.  It would change
> ‘f★oobar’ into ‘oobf★ar’.  This is equivalent to repeating ‘C-t’ three
> times.  ‘C-u - 4 M-t’ moves the word before point backward across four
> words.  ‘C-u - C-M-t’ would cancel the effect of plain ‘C-M-t’.

> I think ‘f★oobar’ becomes ‘foob★ar’ instead of ‘oobf★ar’.

No, the manual is correct.  I just tried it in the current git master.
