It's actually more powerful.  E.g. when point is on a comma
separating two arguments, C-M-t swaps the two arguments.

It's consistent with Lisp code (because the new behavior only occurs for
situations which don't exist in Lisp).  But it's not consistent with
non-SMIE non-Lisp-like languages, indeed.

You can still have that if you set forward-sexp-function to nil.
