Hi,

At [1] and [2] I read about the different behavior of append() (and
similar functions) depending on whether there are many targets (->
copy) or there is just one target (-> move).

For generated pages where the target count is not known, this behavior
seems to be a source of troubles.  Maybe a method-parameter which
explicitly specifies whether the source should be copied or moved
would have been preferable.

I do not know if it is too late for such a change now.  At least the
current behaviour should be explicitly mentioned in the API
documentation of append() [3] and the related methods.

Kind regards,
Markus
