So is the following (combining Eli's changes with my correction and your
clarification) then clear enough?
"Like \\[transpose-chars] (`transpose-chars'), but applies to sexps.
If the innermost sexp containing point is a list or string, you cannot
transpose that sexp with another sexp.
With non-zero prefix arg ARG, effect is to take the sexp before point
and drag it forward past ARG other sexps (backward if ARG is negative).
If ARG is zero, the sexps ending at or after point and at or after mark
are interchanged."
