} Am I missing something or is this a bug?  It seems ... strange.

I've been playing with this and I agree that the behavior is pretty odd.
The following patch seems to make it more sensible; with this patch, the
cursor always ends up at the end of the motion, except that on ~~ (upcase
the current line) it always ends up at the end of the line.

BTW, there doesn't seem to be any sensible way to use vi-oper-swap-case
on the very last character of any line. ~l just beeps because the cursor
can't move left.

"oldcs" is perhaps no longer the best name for the variable, but ...
