I typically type far too fast for me to catch a twiddle-type-typo
immediately. Incidentally, the usual cause of twiddle-type-typos in
my text is typing far too fast :)
In any event, I prefer the straddling-twiddle behaviour because:
* It is consistent with the emacs feature;
* It is consistent with the Alpha manual;
and * It is historically consistent within Alpha.
Now, I'm not trying to convert you - whatever you do in the privacy
of your own prefs file is none of my business - I'm just arguing
that the as-distributed Alpha twiddle should be the emacs/Alpha
manual/historically consistent one.
