When Vim deals with the paste we know the mouse position, thus one can
point to a character to insert before, or after the last character to
append. With bracketed paste we don't know the mouse position, we only
have the cursor position. I think appending is the most common.
However, this makes it impossible to insert before the first column. We
could make it so that it inserts before the first column and otherwise
appends. This then makes it impossible to append after the first
character, but that's probably the best compromise.
